Comment 7 for bug 56801

I've not tried the latest DVB modules, but the workaround mentioned earlier didn't work for me.

People that have reached this page from Google might want to try the following workaround before they go installing packages from non-Ubuntu repositories:

In a terminal, do:

cat > /tmp/dvb << END && sudo mv /tmp/dvb /etc/modprobe.d/dvb
#
# Load the saa7134-dvb driver when the saa7134 module gets loaded
#

install saa7134 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install saa7134 ; { sleep 1 ; /sbin/modprobe saa7134-dvb ; } &
END

Then restart your computer. Remember to type END then press <enter>.

If this doesn't work for you, you should delete the file '/etc/modprobe.d/dvb' by typing the following into a terminal:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/dvb
