Eric, Judging by the output you've posted you've forgotten to load the module for the video decoder. In your case it probably the saa7111-new that comes with the usbvision driver, simply modprobing usbvision won't load it, you have to do it manually. I have found that sometimes it helps if you load the modules in the following order: insmod ./i2c-algo-usb.o insmod ./usbvision.o modprobe tuner insmod ./saa7111-new.o Also the output from when you load the tuner is normal. The tuner module scans the I2C bus on the WinTV for all the tuners it recognises. You'll see it finds yours at 0xc2: >tuner: chip found @ 0xc2 >usb_usbvision-0: i2c attach [Philips NTSC] but it also keeps searching to see if it can find any others and this is where the error messages come from. They are from the WinTV saying there is nothing at those addresses, which is fine because you don't have any of those tuners. Let us know if you have any luck, Cameron Maxwell On Wed, 27 Feb 2002 16:34, Eric Jorgensen wrote: > I picked up a Hauppauge WinTV-USB very cheaply at a thrift store a while > back ($5), verified that it worked on a windows box, and now i've decided > to try and use it on my notebook. > > It doesn't work.
