[mythtv-users] Please help with Avermedia DVB-T 771

[Chris Gravis]

I have two running on a 2.6.8 kernel, and havn't tried the 2.6.10rc1 yet
(if it ain't broke!). I know when I tried (for 2+ weeks!) I was getting
segfaults, and once it did stop segfaulting didn't tune!, with the
frontend (mt352) and applied patch after patch. Finally started clean
and installed the bttv-0.9.15 modules and the dvb-kernel modules in that
order. 

Got further than previously but frontend still segfaulted. Turned out
there was a duplicate module installed (can't remember which one, but
may have been video-buf.ko). Just removed the one that WASN'T from the
dvb-kernel patch and all works 100% now. It was probably something I did
but might be worth checking.

The Avermedia 771 is a great card and once you remove the faceplate
offers rf pass-through too (needed once I got my second card). Think it
is one of the cheapest too! My reception is crap at the best of times,
but the reception from these cards is brilliant!. Havn't got the remote
working though but that's only because I use an XBox for a frontend.

Anyway big thanks to everyone who did all the patches for the card, and 
an extra big thanks to everyone who works on MythTV. Even the wife LOVES
it, and trust me that says alot! 


Hope this helps.
Chris
