[vdr] Error with dumb card

[Wolfgang Goeller <wgoeller@heraklit.ch>]

Hello

I wanted to equip a second computer with a Hauppauge NOVA - S card.
AFter reboot I could successfully load the driver lsmod showed:

My message-file said:

May 10 18:00:39 plato kernel: DVB: registering new adapter 
(Technotrend/Hauppauge PCI rev2.1 or 2.2).

But /proc/video/dev showed nothing.

When starting vdr everything seems to be okay

I don't know though, why a tuner thread starts :-)

Then I get:

May 10 18:05:18 plato last message repeated 13 times
May 10 18:06:26 plato last message repeated 13 times

And If I try to start a recording I get:

May 10 18:14:09 plato vdr[1534]: waiting for EPG info...

So something must be wrong - but I've no clue, what it might be.
The signal-quality is ok.

Thanks for any idea

Regards
Wolfgang
