Hello,

I have recently bought a WinTV NOVA-S-Plus. I want to use it as a headless video disk recorder on linux.

Aftrer upgrading to linux-2.6.16-rc2-mm1, I could tune channels using szap, but when I try to scan for channels in mythsetup of mythtv 0.18, I alwas get error messages:

2006-02-11 11:21:11.481 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started
2006-02-11 11:21:11.482 DVB#0 ERROR - Opening DVB frontend device failed.

2006-02-11 11:23:59.055 DVB#0 DVB Signal Monitor Stopped

In the kernel logfile I can read this error message right after this failed scan:

cx24123_send_diseqc_msg: No support yet
cx88[0]/2: queue is empty - first active
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_start_dma w: 0, h: 0, f: 2

cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_restart_queue: queue is empty
cx24123_send_diseqc_msg: No support yet

Can you give me a hint, if I can do something to get mythtv with my new card running?

Best regards, Hans-Peter
