Hi Darren,
Thanks for your response. You were right it was cx88-dvb that was the problem. I'll do some tests with IR tomorrow and may take you up on the offer of a copy of your patch. Thanks.
Thanks again.
Andrew

I am new to VDR and to DVB-T and I have been trying to configure VDR
1.3.34
to work with 2 Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T cards under Debian (kernel 2.6.13) and have run into some problems. Can someone confirm that the output of dmesg (below) looks to be ok in respect of the NOVA-T cards?
dmesg output; cx2388x v4l2 driver version 0.0.5 loaded PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 0000:02:0a.0 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 0000:02:0a.2 PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 0000:02:0a.4 cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T

Probably OK.
cx88[0]: registered IR remote control
OOI, is the default mapping adequately useable on these cards? If not, I have a patch (for budget-ci, intended for use with older Nova-T cards, but probably adaptable to cx88) which will allow programming from userspace. One of the keymap loaders in dvb-utils should be useable or adaptable.

When we run w_scan to generate channels.conf we get the following error; moon2:/tmp/w_scan# ./w_scan -o3 >> /var/lib/vdrdevel/channels.conf
w_scan? How does this differ from scan (in dvb-utils)?
Info: using DVB adapter auto detection. Info: unable to open frontend /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0'

Which modules are loaded? According to the kernel configuration help, you want cx88, cx88-dvb and one of four front-end modules, in this case mt352 or cx22702. (I don't know which; my Nova-T is older and uses tda1004x.)
Does that device node exist? If so, check the permissions. If not, the answer depends on whether you're using udev.
Without udev: # cd /dev && MAKEDEV dvb
With udev: make sure that you're using the version currently in unstable. (If you still don't get device nodes, proceed as for without udev.)
