Reference my last mail this is an extract of /var/log /dmesg which is also truncated but at the end and not the beggining, wierd.

I also have 2 (two) TV cards one a pinnacle and the other a Nebula DigiTV. 
On e the pinnacle captures from my cable tv programs the other is a digital
TV card for capture in hires. I have yet to be able to access the Nebula card
but it is seen first:

i2c-core.o: i2c core module version 2.7.0 (20021208)
i2c-algo-bit.o: i2c bit algorithm module version 2.7.0 (20021208)
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.7.100 loaded
bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (8320k total) for capture
bttv: Host bridge is PCI device 10de:01e0 (nVidia Corporation)

bttv1: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... found
bttv1: pinnacle/mt: id=2 info="PAL+SECAM / stereo" radio=yes

I was wondering if anyone can suggest the steps I need to take to access this.
looks as if it not that hard to access but the method seems a bit hard so far.

I'll leave the DVD authoring for a few months. <|:-)
