Ah right. Same here.

modinfo cx24116 tells me:

filename: 
/lib/modules/2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/frontends/cx24116.ko
license:        GPL
author:         Steven Toth
description:    DVB Frontend module for Conexant cx24116/cx24118 hardware
srcversion:     08166A1122785592C226036
depends:
vermagic:       2.6.34.7-0.5-desktop SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 686
parm:           toneburst:DiSEqC toneburst 0=OFF, 1=TONE CACHE, 
2=MESSAGE CACHE (default:1) (int)
parm:           esno_snr:int
parm:           debug:Activates frontend debugging (default:0) (int)

Not sure what that tells me. Maybe I should build the latest from the
hg repository. linuxtv site mentions the driver being broken in
kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31 and 2.6.32.

Paul.
