What is really freaky is if I run lsmod there is no driver loaded. But if I modprobe the module the Card starts to work but as I said I only get a partial picture thats very fuzzy might I add. If I lsmod again the card is sortof working and there is still no driver listed for it. I don't have the PC with me so I can't post my outputs, but I think I will manage. There isn't a lot of support on TV cards so we must struggle.
