Hi Tony,
First, I'm sure many people here will tell you to take this to where it
belongs - the linux-dvd list, so I won't bother. Oh, what the heck -
take this to the linux-dvd list, it's OT here. Being a newbie doesn't
mean you're allowed to ignore list etiquette.
Second, after you've moved to the linux-dvd list, upgrade to kernel
2.6.10-rc1, then read and follow the process I posted in the thread
"Success at last: AverMedia DVB-T + FusionHDTVDVB-T Lite". With 2.6.9
you need to build a new version of video4linux, and I could never get
that to work. With 2.6.10 the process is much simpler.
