budget-core

tuner tvaudio msp3400 bttv video_buf i2c_algo_bit btcx_risc i2c_core v4l2_common
After I have loaded the modules, dmesg shows:

Only thing that you need, is dvb-apps from CVS. From dvb-apps you can find
scan and tzap.
scan: you can scan your channels and create channels.conf file for other applications
tzap: you can tune to some channel with this
In addition, you can get the dvbtools from dvbtools CVS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbtools/),
where you can get:
dvbtune: you can scan your channels and do other things that I dont know anything dvbstream: you can pipe your audio and video stream to file or to some
player(mplayer). You can use mplayer or xine directly without dvbstream by defining dvb://tothe command line (mplayer dvb:// -tv lots-of-options). Someone should verify that these "instructions" are okay, I'm not sureaboutanything...

The more I look at this, (and I may be very wrong on this as my linuxexperience isn't great) it appears as though the FC2 2.6.1-1.61 kernel package isn't created with a module for the tda1004x frontend.From the kernel config file;Read dvb-kernel/linux/Documentation/dvb/firmware.txt and the kernel config help for the tda1004x -- you need to install a not anymore included firmware file coming with your windows driver to get this driver running...

Should I expect a module for tda1004x?
PC sucks.

Hi
Two different locations are mentioned in the dvb-kernel firmware.txt;
/etc/dvb/tda1004x.bin
and the kernel tda1004x Kconfig file;
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.bin
I have placed the .dll file to both locations, but I still can't modprobe tda1004x. I assume i'm missing something fairly obvious. Any ideas?
