BINGO! Do I get to keep the $100000 prize now? :-P One day you wake up and think by yourself "surely hardware manufacturers have screwed us enough by now, it cannot happen again" - only for it to *do* happen again some moments later only... > The actual version of the card in circulation uses the Thomson DTT7612 > ...

To update your v4l/dvb modules (so long as you > are running kernel 2.6.12 or later) follow the directions here: Does that mean that detection for this card is now fully automatic and correct? I'm asking since this is what we should really try to achieve: 99% of people are John Does, and 97% of those would assume Linux support for this card to be "nonexistent"/"broken" ("thiz Leenux SUCKERZ!"), and a measly remaining 3% would know how to configure this stuff manually properly. Andreas Mohr (that's the guy that has yet another mis-detected "close but entirely different" TV card sitting and waiting for its bttv fix soon)
