In any case, I pulled the Fusion5 out leaving just the pvr 350 and the HD3000 (again, a config which was working before) and grabbed lsmod | sort - here is some of it:

<br><br>I'm posting this because I thought someone said that cx8800 would block cx88_dvb, or is it that I can only use one set of functions - dvb, or ntsc - at a time (in which case it's ok that both are loaded)?<br>
