Hi Jonathan, It was actually broken for months (including 3.0), and not fixed until 3.1. I'm assuming you're having problems with dvb-s and dvb-t? Please clarify exactly which standards aren't working for you? Also, take Xen out of the picture. Validate it isn't working in a regular system. Virtualization is definitely a source of problems and should be ruled out. Any suspicious output in dmesg? Devin -- Devin J.
