Re: SAA7146 support

[Ben Stanley <Ben Stanley exemail com au>]

Rob,

The stuff you've found is for Digital Video Broadcasting, used in Europe
and Australia.

You can find instructions in the linuxtv-dvb tarball that you can
download from www.linuxtv.org .

Note that the 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 kernel includes the saa7146 module, so you
don't have to re-compile (at least for that module).

Sorry about the generic instructions; I don't have the same card as you.

Good Luck!
Ben.
