This (according to the subsystem ID) looks like a clone of Compro 
VideoMate DVB-T300, which should be autodetected in recent kernels. 
Could you please try retesting with linux-2.6.23?

Hello Alexander,

I just tried it with kernel :
[root at localhost mythtv]# uname -r
2.6.23-5.fc8

dmesg looks like this :

Hello Alexander,
I have implemented the above config and we have progressed a bit further .
This is again with kernel :
[root at localhost mythtv]# uname -r
2.6.23-5.fc8

my dmesg is now a little better and looks like :

saa7130[0]/dvb: frontend initialization failed


Please ignore the references to cx88 as this is coming from my Dvico 
fusion DVBT card which is working perfectly .

So it looks like most of T300's config is usable for my card ( a S350 , 
s-for satellite) except the frontend which I guess needs to be satellite 
specific for LNB control as well as diseqc functionality .

Where do we go from here ?

Best Regards
