igor,

i downloaded it and built it (after making a few small changes to make 
it compile with tip)
it finds the hardware, but does not seem able to get a data stream
kaffeine seems to show that there is signal - and it does seem to vary 
in a way that is consistent with a working card

what do i need to do to help get this to work. i would like to as (under 
windows) it seems to work well and it is very, very cheap (13 euro on ebay)

it is on a machine which i can dual boot into windows (if that is any use)

regards
