Hmm, that's what I did. I got 2.6.9 from kernel.org and applied the 'full' patch from 
http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.9-rc4-1/ -- no dvb-kernel code involved at all. The 
card works fine, but I've no idea how to get the remote working. Are you saying that I 
should grab the cx88 drivers from bytesex.org and compile that instead of the using 
the patches for 2.6.9?
