Hello Per,

Thank you very much for replying.

I know. That was my the main reason why I spent all weekend trying to get
my mythtv up and running again since I took daily copies from the trunk
and the system became very unstable so I took a revision which was
discussed in one of the mailing lists so I was sure this would work. :-)
See http://maarten.hondelink.com/index.php/How_To_Build what I have been
doing this weekend in case you are interested. :-) Can you advice my in
which revision of the trunk which seems a little more stable and has the
correct s2 support included?

I have Ubuntu 9.04 which runs 2.6.28-15-generic kernel. Thats the latest
one from this distribution as far as I know. I am not sure if the drivers
have S2API included. I can also compile the kernel by hand if its
neccessary. Do you think its worth the effort? Api and drivers from
linuxtv.org? I thought s2lipianin was the way to go. Am I wrong here?

I think I did this the correct way. Included the s2lipianin here. What
else could be the problem?

Thanks again!
