Good morning Brian,<br><br>Am yet to try out any DVB-x card, I have dwelt entirely in the saa713x / bttv realm. That said, I see there are no complaints in your dmesg output so I assume the card driver was setup ok, and it might only be a reception/antennae problem (as is generally common with any other usb tv cards). Unless your card was wrongly detected i.e it is not an Afatech DVB-T card ?<br>
