Yes, I've tried kvdr too but it seems that something is missing. I don't 
know where.
The problem is coming from the v4l compatibility with the latest release 
of the driver.

Xawtv reports that the /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 is not a v4l or v4l2 
device. If one of you guys if able to use fbtv or xawtv,  would be 
please if he/she can put his driver version, Linux version and xawtv 
version :-)  And very important the kernel version.

Is it necessary to load the sa7146_v4l.o module? Even in debug mode, I 
am unable to get any message in the system logger.

Do I need to go for the kernel v2.5.69 ?  I don't know if the v4l2 
support is better with this one.

Thanks for you help

Alex
