Update, video is now working, so we can close this thread with the comment that adding simple_tuner to the last build appeared to bring it up. No great amount of help from the depends line in Kconfig when that Kconfig isn't even seen if the RC_CORE isn't checked in a different directories Kconfig. THAT NEEDS a PATCH... However there is no audio because I need to get a longer jumper cable. The pcHDTV3000's audio output is at microphone level at its best, or has been here forever, and I've switched to the motherboard audio, an snd_hda_intel setup & the cable won't reach. It was originally driving an Audigy2 Value 24 bit card in an adjacent PCI-E slot, which I may have wrongly blamed for some stuttering and took out. I might put it back in as this snd_hda_intel lashup is funkity in numerous ways, 30db too much bass boost, and its gains are wide open all the time to get a usable voice level. Thank you all for bearing with me on this. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
