I have gone through several iterations of loading ubuntu's
2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP  and using Markus'
http://mcentral.de/empia/20080804/empia-hardy-generic-i386-latest.deb
package.  From experience mixing v4l from any of the howtos on the
linuxtv site or at mcentral yield a non-functioning video setup; neither
scan, kaffeine, nor analog tvtime work.

The best I have done is get tvtime to work with sox and Markus' driver
package above with a clean load of 2.6.24-19-generic.

The best way I have found to get back to a working configuration is to
boot an alternative  kernel (I always have a spare :), remove the non-
functioning kernel packages (and rm lefotvers if needed), then re-
install the packages again.  Time consuming, but guaranteed results.

The v4l Makefile has a "remove", which along with reinstalling Markus'
.deb package should work (followed by a depmod -a), but I prefer a clean
slate.

I woud like to know how to get ATSC in the states working on the HVR-950; 
ubuntu's scan (dvbscan) and w_can do not seem to work,, although the /dev/dvb 
files are there.  
Response is:

# w_scan -a 0
w_scan version 20080105
-_-_-_-_ Getting frontend capabilities-_-_-_-_ 
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ 
ERROR: Sorry - i couldn't get any working frequency/transponder
 Nothing to scan!!
dumping lists (0 services)
Done.

Any thought on the dvb side would be appreciated.  I would be happy to provide 
detailed information.  BTW;platform is EeePC 901.
Doug.
