I have had a bit of fun with this move as I was previously running vdr 1.3.18 with a FF dvb-t card and the new place has cable network, so I decided to get a cable card for the job.
The card in question is http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Supported_DVB_cards#Hauppauge.2FTT_Nexus-C...
Yesterday it work like this: Feb 23 17:00:58 [kernel] saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.

I haven't found from where that screenshot complaint comes as I do not have it specified to be loaded. :)
I grabbed the channels.conf file mentioned here: http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2003/01/msg00266.html
and now my problem is this: Feb 25 07:35:01 [vdr] switching to channel 2 Feb 25 07:35:06 [vdr] ERROR: device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver! Feb 25 07:35:39 [vdr] switching to channel 3 Feb 25 07:35:44 [vdr] ERROR: device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver!
Suggestions? Should I go for the 2.6.11 kernel rc's or try some other combination of dvb driver versions?
