Hi, I'm running Gentoo with kernel 3.10.7. I've installed the drivers, but on startup, there appear to be errors loading the module: muzer@muzer-gentoo ~ $ dmesg | grep -A 5 -B 5 -i tbs [ 3.835155] Write protecting the kernel text: 6344k [ 3.835295] Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 2492k ...

Oh, I see. Thanks for the tip - I was wondering how you watched channels in mplayer via szap-s2, now I know :) Yeah, I'll probably use MythTV after a while but I'll need to set aside time to set it up - I'm glad I now know how I can just use mplayer. I've gone off Kaffeine ever since it made the mov...

But symbol rate, frequency and polarisation are always specified by the software; rolloff I think it works without, not sure whether or not it works without FEC. Modulation is the only one I noticed it definitely requires (but I'll test FEC). I don't need blind scan - just the ability to tune into t...

A number of applications (for example mplayer) have no way of specifying the modulation, yet this card won't tune a channel unless the modulation is specified. I'm using the stock drivers in 2.6.38. Is there a way to get the card to tune when no modulation is specified (another driver/whatever)? No...

Just tried to install the official driver from this website, it seemed to break all V4L support in the kernel. I had to completely purge the kernel and reinstall it, then.
