Lifeview Flytv DVB-T hybrid - Cardbus



Hello everybody!
I'm looking for a couple of hints, in order to make my brand new and shiny

Lifeview Flytv DVB-T Hybrid - Cardbus

work under linux ...

The first time I plug the card, it is recognized as card=39,
aka FlyTV Platinum Mini.
Regrettably, I've still to see a single channel ... or even snow ...

Here the relevant part of the log

Removing and reinserting the
PCMCIA card, the kernel does not seem to recognize the card again,
claiming about card=0, autodetected ...
I've tried a couple of combinations of card=# and tuner=# in the modprobe
option of saa7134, but no success ... I'am using, to test the tuning, both
tvtime and kdetv.
The card itself should be an hybrid (single chip I suspect) Analog/DVB-T
card ... at least I'd like to make the analog part
run, even better would be also makeing the FM radio run ...
Trial and error is good mean of making this card run, but testing an almost
70 (card) x 50 (tuners) manifold would be impossible
If someone could help me, even in a socratic way (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maieutics) ... i.e. pointing me to useful
linksfor further learning, I'd  be very grateful and happy ...
For what I've already understood, this card is still "unsopported" ... what
should I do to help the "supporting" of this specific card?!
Thanks in advance,

G.D. Fiamazo
