Dear all,

Thank you for the suggestions, but I think this has taken up too much of 
my time already. I wish I had contacted this list sooner, as I spent 
considerable time muddling through based on googling the device.

I followed Douglas's link to build the v4l-dvb sources, but am now 
getting fatal errors when I try to modprobe the em28xx module. I tried 
to follow the ubuntu 8.04-specific fix instructions, but to no avail.

I took the plunge and bought an ATI HDTV wonder, and will receive it in 
a few days. I very much hope that setting this up is considerably easier 
that the USB 2800RF.

I am a bit worried that all the messing around with linux headers, 
sources and the v4l packages may upset the installation of my new card, 
though. If someone could please describe how to get back close to a 
"virgin" state i.e. completely remove v4l, modules and reinstall from 
scratch, I'd be very grateful.

Sorry I can't devote more time to this - I know how important it is to 
the community as a whole to improve legacy hardware support.

Best regards, and thanks again,

Lee
