Thanks for the quick response!

I reverted to the stock kernel modules and cx23885 indeed loaded with
"card=4".  However channel scanning did not find anything.  Since you

I just got the sources again and did make, make install (no make load)
and rebooted.  Module loaded, dmesg indicated no errors.

Scanning turns up nothing though, I only get:
> scan /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB
scanning /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB

I picked us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB for the over the air channels (in
Austin TX), please correct me if I was wrong there.

Is there a way to make sure that the card is receiving anything?  I would
like to rule out a malfunctioning card.  Does the load of the module indicate
that some communication has already taken place with the card?

I will try a different cable next.  I can also ask a friend to test-drive the
card under windows but I would do that as a last resort.  (If there is a
hardware error on the card I need to return it soon.)

> Did you reboot your machine before trying the new modules?

That was the problem.  It was not clear to me that other than the cx23885
module need to be updated, that there are dependencies regarding module
versions.  (The module system is not modular enough it seems; presumably as a
result of constant changes in the module and kernel interfaces?)

Thanks again for your help!
