The 801e driver only has support currently for ATSC/ClearQAM (which is why it appears as a DVB device). The driver does not have any support for analog (e.g. the analog tuner or the composite/s-video inputs). Run "ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0" and if you see an entry then the driver loaded successfully. Also, you may need to load firmware (it's bundled by default with a number of distributions but I don't know about Mint). If you don't have it, you can get it here: http://kernellabs.com/firmware/dib0700/ Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
