[linux-dvb] avermedia avertv dvb-t 771

[Frank Egger <frank.egger@gmx.de>]

hi all!

i've recently bought an avermedia avertv dvb-t 771 and tried to get it
running on a linux 2.6.4er kernel but failed until now.

i've applied the patches from wolfram
(http://www.frokaschwei.net/avtv771/avermedia.html) and there are no
problems during compilation as well as inserting the modules into the
kernel. i've made a small test-script to load the drivers into the kernel:

#!/bin/sh
modprobe dvb_core
modprobe bttv
modprobe bt878
modprobe mt352
modprobe dvb_bt8xx
modprobe dst

below is a snippet of the log file for this. everythings seems to be fine.
but i fail to tune in to a channel. i used the scan script from pvr mailing
list.

is there something i've overlooked? what about the warnings from the
hotplug-engine? i updated from kernel 2.4 to 2.6 and didn't care about it,
because all features of my system are still running.

help is really appreciated;)

regards,
  frank
