So 2 questions - one for a 'last try' and one for 'Plan B'. Q1. Initially, the card was not recognised automatically, but under guidance form Hermann, forcing Linux to treat it as card=114, I was able to capture video. Unfortunately, normally Black and White rather than colour. I understand that normally Linux would sniff the eeprom and determine the type of card from information found in there. I have the .inf files that describe the various KWorld cards to that other operating system and I can see that the first 4 bytes of the eeprom, albeit swapped about (Big Endian/Little Endian) are used in that .inf to identify the card. Various parameters are apparently put into the Registry, depending on the card type and I thought I would compare the parameters for my card with the parameters for the 'Real 114'. I assume that there is a file somewhere which says "If the eeprom says 'xxxx' then the card is type 'n'". Where can I see that file which identifies the card type? Q2. Assuming that I am unable to make any difference, I will need to use a different card - and hopefully, one that is supported. In order to make the current card do anything, I had to issue a couple of commands "modprobe -vr saa7134-dvb saa7134-alsa saa7134 tuner" "modprobe -v saa7134 card=114 i2c_scan=1" so presumably, I would need to 'undo' the effect of those lines to let Linux auto-detect. What do I need to do? Ian -- Ian Davidson 239 Streetsbrook Road, Solihull, West Midlands, B91 1HE -- Facts used in this message may or may not reflect an underlying objective reality.
