Hi all can any one help with this situation with my DVB-T card?

In August it worked fine ( has been for 18months)
Aug 12 I lost BBC1 the first to move to the new Digital
In Sept I lost the lot?

So I Emailed Hauppauge whit the problem and the Details ie

lsmod comes up with the module
tveeprom 17233 1 saa7134

and got this reply

"Hello

Do you have a windows system that you can install the card into and then
download out latest windows software (WinTV 7 CD 1.2) "
Don't you just love techies focused on the OS and not the product?

Well technically they don't support Linux, so I guess they're trying to determine if it is the product or not.
anyway I said I can build a Win Xp machine and check it out and
unexpectedly he replied
"The tuner can use either 2k or 8k modulation but the driver may need to
be re-built / compiled "
regarding a Conversation with an Arqiva Transmitter engineer who said
the new system uses 8k modulation now instead of 2k

Has any one already compiled successfully a "new dirver" I presume it
refers to the module saa7134?
Or is it in a newer kernel than mine
2.6.25.10-47.fc8
I'm pretty certain that the driver should support it. At least the scan file used by the the dvb-tools scan application supports 8K.
