[mythtv] BIG DVB PATCH V2.1

Thu Nov 18 17:21:44 UTC 2004

First of all, as it is my first posting, I'd like to thank anyone and everyone 
for their contributions to this project.

Now, onto my problem. I have a Nexus-s model 707 DVB-S card. I've been trying 
to get it to work with the v1.1, v2.0 and v2.1 of this patch with no result. 
I build this patch against a cvs version of Mythtv usually dated around the 
same time the patch has been released. I was running a SuSE 9.1 Pro with the 
default kernel (2.6.5-57 I think), then I upgraded to 2.6.7-111 and last 
night in a desperate move to get the latest dvb drivers, I upgraded to the 
cvs version of the kernel dated 11/16/2004. Yet, in each instance, in each of 
these configurations, I'm getting the same results.
