Need help getting the AVerMedia DVB-T 777 working

[Andy Webber <v4l (at) andywebber.com>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the 777 working on my system; I'd really appreciate 
some pointers.

Basic system is a fresh install of Fedora Core 4 with hg-v4l-dvb-e0cb38da4fe2 
drivers built and installed, and nVidia driver for 6200 graphics card installed.

The saa7134 is loaded and recognises the 777, but I don't get any "tuner" line 
in dmesg, so in "tvtime" only composite1 and S-video available. Even this 
doesn't seem to work - tvtime does not show a picture when fed a composite 
signal (tvtime set for PAL as I'm in the UK).

So I'm not convinced I have all the right modules loaded correctly. In 
particular the MT352 module is not loaded. Even when it does get loaded 
(manual load of saa7134-dvb) still no tuner.

Thanks for any help
Andy

If I manually load saa7134-dvb with modprobe I then get extra lines in dmesg:
