Hi I'm using Gutsy (amd64) with MSI TV@nywhere Satellite card. In short, it's not working:

1. the autodetect during boot is yielding
 cx88[0]: Your board isn't known (yet) to the driver. You can
 cx88[0]: try to pick one of the existing card configs via
 cx88[0]: card=<n> insmod option. Updating to the latest
 cx88[0]: version might help as well.

2. After manually specifying card=13
(contents of /etc/modprobe.d/options:
options cx88xx card=13
options tda9887 qss=0)

dmesg gives:
[ 819.717910] cx2388x cx88-mpeg Driver Manager version 0.0.6 loaded

3. sudo scan ./channels.conf
gives
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory

4. With Mythtv the scans give also not results

5. After googling and inspecting my system ...
 sudo modprobe cx88-dvb
gives
FATAL: Error inserting cx88_dvb (/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-dvb.ko): No such device
(even executing this in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88)
but
 ls /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/video/cx88
cx8800.ko cx8802.ko cx88-alsa.ko cx88-blackbird.ko cx88-dvb.ko cx88-vp3054-i2c.ko cx88xx.ko

So I think the problem still exists ...

Any further ideas?

Many thanks in advance.
