[linux-dvb] Hercule smart TV sat

[François Guillemé <francois@guilleme.net>]

Hi everyone.
I recently bought a cheap DVB card. I used a last week snapshot of the CVS.
It is based on a bt878a and is, apparently, a twinhan clone.
I loaded the modules bttv and dvb-bt8xx fine. The card is recognized but 
the dst module complains and says there might be no card (failure while 
writing through i2c). Had anybody some success with this card.?

here is an excerpt of my syslog:
