Re: Anyone using the usbvision driver?

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
