Hi Donovan,

I have got Myth installed and some data in the dvb tables, for instance
here is what I have for TCN 9, do your entries for 9 match these?

mysql> select * from channel c join dvb_channel dc on \
c.chanid = dc.chanid join dvb_pids p on \
p.chanid = dc.chanid \
where c.chanid = 9\G

What revision is your card? This one's only about 2 months old so I am
wondering if there is something slightly different with this card.

It does work in windows I have been told, but since I don't do windows I
can't re-confirm this.

I am am beginning to think that I will have to buy another card ... :(

Cheers
Lee
