AVerMedia Hybrid+FM PCI

[Marc <marcsabat (at) gmail.com>]

Hi,

Had the same problem. The install script is broken (had to install the rpm
by hand).

If the device is properly configured upon restarting you should see this
messages when issuing dmesg (or, in order to fileter the output) dmesg |
grep A16AR:
AVerMedia A16AR[0]: TS buffer size=32KB, count=128
DVB: registering new adapter (AVerMedia A16AR[0]).
AVerMedia A16AR[0] registered DVB adapter 0
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Zarlink MT352 DVB-T)...

On Fedora Core 4 I encountered a problem with permissions on dvb devices
(are not properly set). Try to run (just for testing!) xine as root. You can
also give proper permissions to dvb devices but I haven't found a clean way
yet. I just issue chmod a+rwx /dev/dvb/* -R (an ugly, ugly hack...). If
somebody knows a better way please let me know.

That worked for me.
