Thanks for the help. I have hooked it up using the external cable. I
will post a new thread re: frontend and see if it's a wider problem.

Cheers,
Anthony

Ummmmm. No. I dont really have any ideas from here. I'm kind of a linux
newbie myself - I just thought I'd help you out as your system was so
damn similar to mine (OS and tv card). But I dont think I can help you
from here.

It seems that our DMESG outputs are identical, except for the one line
that you previously identified:
dvb-usb: no frontend was attached by 'DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual USB'

But besides that everything seems fine. What are you using to hook it up
(the USB bit) to your machine? I was using internal cables at first, but
I switched to an external cable as I had problems with internal.
