Bug Description
I am running Edgy and trying to get my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T DVB UK digital TV card card working, with no success so far.
lspci reports the card as:
00:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)
Some googling suggested that the saa7146 driver should be part of the vanilla kernel by now, although I can't find anything by that name using modprobe.
"sudo modprobe saa7146" gives "FATAL: Module saa7146 not found."
Further googling suggested that there were 2 possible front ends I might have with this card: the tda10045 or the tda10046. I've downloaded the firmware for both of these, using the "perl /usr/src/
When I do "sudo modprobe tda10045" or "sudo modprobe tda10046", no output at all is shown in dmesg.
Opening the machine and looking at the board reveals the mark "LSI L64781", which appears to be the name of another possible front end. I don't know whether it needs firmware, but when I type "sudo modprobe l64781", I get no output, and dmesg shows nothing.
After booting (and any other time!) "dmesg | grep DVB" gives no output.
Any ideas gratefully appreciated, and do ask if you need more info. Sorry if I'm being stupid.
Thanks, Andy

I'm sorry this appears to be attached to zd1211. I can't see how to transfer it elsewhere.
