This just means no valid Transport Stream was picked up. A Transport
stream contains both a PAT and SDT to describe what services are
available on this frequency.
OK, there are only two things I can think of now, and both are clutching
at straws....
1) IRQ conflicts... do an 'lspci -v' or 'cat /proc/interrupts' and make
sure nothing is sharing an IRQ.
If there is a share, then do whatever you can to stop it happening -
remove all expansion cards except the Nova (or AGP gfx.. ;) ,disable USB
/ serial / parallel / all on-board stuff in the BIOS and try again.
If that still fails, put the Nova in a different PCI slot.
These sound really desperate, but there have been a few documented cases
on the list where this was the solution to weird problems - and although
they concern users with 2 or 3 DVB cards, it's still worth a try.
2) Try the card in Windows! Make sure you don't actually have a duff
one! :)
It's a bizarre install - Windows installs it as a Network device - and
when I tried it, I ended up having to set a static IP address for the
Nova card... Very shoddy.
Cheers,
Gavin.
