I'm presently using 10.04 (2.6.32-22) with JYA packages.  Are you using 
the HVR3000 in DVB-T mode?  If so it's rather odd.

I may have to try the downloading the v4l source.

Completely OT - How many people here have r8169 gigabit ethernet chips 
(on the m/b) in their machines?
I have them in all my machines and they miserably fail under high load 
(i.e. gigabit speeds).

The link between the HVR300 and the Realtek chip is that they have both 
been around for ever and the kernel drivers for them are still broken! 
 >:o >:o

I can download and install the Realtek driver which seems to work fine.  
Only I have to recompile and reinstall it when Ubuntu update the kernel.

Has anyone been successful in locking the kernel version so that Ubuntu 
doesn't insist on changing it when installing other updates??

Thanks for putting up with the rant, I feel better now. :-)
