uc:RE: [mythtv-users] uc: pci DVB-T UK Question

[Barker Thomas]

Much appreciated, with that patch on it works like a charm. Weird how I cant
get it working in 2.6.10-rc2 though on my epia but it works fine on my
athlon xp.

But the 2.6.8.1 with the patch works perfectly on my epia

Thanx
Tom

Using it here, with 2.6.8.1. However there's a kernel bug with that
version, for which you'll need to patch. (Ignore the path names in the
patch; it'll apply to 2.6.8.1.)
