I followed this instructions, but encountered some problems now.
In the insmod.sh script the driver for the pinnacle is missing.
Therefore I've loaded it with: insmod dvb-bt8xx.o debug=1
What I get then is (in /var/log/messages):
Apr 18 18:49:21 linop kernel: dvb_bt8xx: enumerating availible bttv
cards...
Apr 18 18:49:21 linop kernel: dvb_bt8xx: identified card0 as Pinnacle
PCTV DVB-S
Apr 18 18:49:21 linop kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (Pinnacle
PCTV DVB-S).

While this seems to be not bad, the problem is that there is no frontend
driver loaded. I had a look in the DVB driver on the
experimental-pinnacle branch. There a module cx24110.o is loaded to
communicate with the tuner. I didn't found a replacement for this in the
dvb-kernel driver. What is the correct module to communicate with the
tuber of the pinnacle tv-sat card?
