Hi, thanks for the reply.

To be sure that I hadn't set a certain card type somewhere, I used a
clean install of a different OS (Linux Mint on a live USB); however,
dmesg still shows that for some reason it is looking for the tda-10048
firmware.

Here's the dmesg output: http://pastebin.ca/1894693

Here's the dmesg out after installing the tda10048 firmware if it is any help:

I am able to find two or three analogue channels with tvtime, but no digital
channels at all:
dvbscan always says "tuning failed", and using vlc to search for dvb-t channels
results in none.

I do not have the patches you mention, as I am quite new to tv for
linux, but I'll take a look shortly.

My card is definitely the WinTV-HVR1110 as it states it on the card
itself, but the packaging states HVR-1110.
