Actually what I use is the FC3/update kernel (2.6.11-1.14_FC3) with the following additional packages:- * bttv-kmdl-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 * video4linux-kmdl-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 * ivtv-kmdl-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 * saa7134-kmdl-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 * cx88-kmdl-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 You may not need the ivtv (I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 in the box as well), but I think all the others are necessary. > I couldn't find any way to stop it doing that that so I ended up > hacking rc.sysinit (not recommended).

This basically just worked for me entering only the base frequency of the DVB mux - which I got from the BBC website or the DVB tools config files (one per transmitter set). > If you manage to get it working without going insane consider yourself lucky > :) Can't vouch for the sanity in this case. I also didn't use the K-World remote and driver - the remote is horrid anyway so getting it working seems pointless.
