Hi Two different locations are mentioned in the dvb-kernel firmware.txt; /etc/dvb/tda1004x.bin and the kernel tda1004x Kconfig file; /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.bin I have placed the .dll file to both locations, but I still can't modprobe tda1004x. I assume i'm missing something fairly obvious. Any ideas? Thanks Peter -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
