Hello Guido,

Now finally, I want to check my two ttpci cards - before that I was to invent a modules.conf since linuxtv-dvb does not contain anymore some modules.conf file as it used to be in the old dvb-modules series. Anyway, one can guess a list based on insmod.sh present in the tarball.
Hm, the current drivers can easily be loaded via modprobe, all dependencies (except of the frontend) are handled automatically.
aaaah! that's where I got it wrong here - everything except the frontend. I see another patch coming up... and from other places I gather that it would not be easy to get at a modules.conf that handles both sides, right?
If you have a full-feature card you need > modprobe dvb-ttpci and > modprobe ves1x93 (if you have a ves1x93 based frontend)
For a simple budget-card just do > modprobe dvb-ttpci-budget
however one can not access either of the two cards since both have no frontend nodes (adapter0 is a budget, adapter1 is siemens 1.3): $ ls -F /dev/dvb/* /dev/dvb/adapter0: demux0 dvr0 net0 /dev/dvb/adapter1: audio0 ca0 demux0 dvr0 net0 osd0 video0
That is quite annoying since the frontend drivers have been loaded: # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted dvb-ttpci 290708 0 (unused) input 5664 0 [dvb-ttpci] saa7146_vv 39388 0 [dvb-ttpci] dvb-ttpci-budget 6664 0 (unused) ttpci-eeprom 2616 0 [dvb-ttpci dvb-ttpci-budget] dvb-core 50924 0 [dvb-ttpci dvb-ttpci-budget] saa7146 13428 0 [dvb-ttpci saa7146_vv dvb-ttpci-budget] video-buf 15536 0 [saa7146_vv] v4l2-common 4032 0 [saa7146_vv] v4l1-compat 11300 0 [saa7146_vv]
Aehm, which frontend driver did you load? I cannot see *any* frontend driver loaded... (for example ves1x93, stv0299, ...)
hmmmpfff, so the saa7146 is not a frontend? Ouch. Effectivly I have to test all? Ooops. The ves1x93 did it, or so it seems, because...
How to proceed? Things used to work flawless with old dvb modules.
Load the appropriate frontend modules and you should have your frontend device nodes back.
Yes. I did just a test recording. Now there is just one problem left: the 'szap' command does not have a '-c' flag anymore which used to be there in the old dvb modules 'szap' version. That breaks my scripts and at the moment I do not know how to access the second card - which is pointed to another satellite (ye know, the usual astra/hotbird dual). You do accept patches, right? ;-)
