[gentoo-user] DVB-T died once in a sudden ?!?

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I dont know what is responsible...but yesterday I was able
 to watch dvb-t broadcasts, this morning: nothing .

 Before I throw away my receiver card, I would like to know, whether
 there are ways to proof, whether my card goes to heaven or something
 else, less fatal, goes wrong.

 lspci show me (beside other things of course):

00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
00:0b.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)

 I have not changed my kernel configuration and with this
 configuration I was able to receive dvb.t broadcasts.

 There are no /dev/dvb/* entries anymore.

 I added those by hand, but after a reboot they are all gone.

 Is there any chance to check whether the card or something else goes
 wrong ?

 System:
 Bt878 based DVB-T receiver card without mpeg2 decoder.
 Linux 2.6.17.8 vanilla kernel sources.
 Asus AV8 mobo
 AMD X2 64 3800+ CPU

 Thank you very much for any help in advance!
 Kind regards,
  mcc
