I > recommend the kernellabs tree. Mike: The problem he's describing looks a lot like the FX2 firmware is not correct. That has nothing to do with tuner / demod components. Ken e-mailed me directly 2 days ago with other issues involving firmware extraction - I just hadn't replied yet (I did a few minutes ago however). There are a number of avenues to chase to get that FX2 firmware straightened out. I will followup on this later tonight once I have the right pieces in front of me to help. -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ isely (dot) net PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
