I guess the signal is valid: both the satellite receiver and the videocamera still work perfectly, I shouldn't say they both got damaged suddenly yesterday. I have no other computer. I have no other video capture card. > >> The kernel seems to be aware of it, as usual, but when I start xawtv I >> get a black screen and the following messages in dmesg: > Most if the time, I would say you have a problem within the input > signal, or the selected input.

Maybe a friend of mine have one, but I'm still sure the signal is okay, and the selected input is the right one. > Have you tried unloading the driver and loading every module manually ?

I'll take a look at that. A few month ago I had my mobo changed, and the guys at the computer shop installed it in such a way that I found difficult to put a sound card I have into a PCI slot. There are chances the DC30+ was put in without enough care for this reason, and something could have been damaged. Yet, it's strange such damages became evident after such a long time. > >> What's happening? I swear I made no changes in the system, nor in the >> scripts I'm used to use to capture.
