[linux-dvb] Re: AverMedia DVB-T and Kernel 2.6.6

[Mattias Holmlund <u89@m1.holmlund.se>]

I The bt878-module is already loaded. I think it is loaded automatically
when I do modprobe dvb_bt8xx.

I have read about the new AverMedia cards. But since my card works with
2.4.24, I don't think that is the problem.

Are you using any parameters when you load any of the modules?
