Whats that from? Looks a bit like a dump of /proc/modules. And not 
enough of them.

Check the logs, e.g. /var/log/syslog, or with dmesg, for
error messages. I get:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.
saa7146: register extension 'budget dvb'.
saa7146: register extension 'budget_ci dvb'.

Looks like you don't have the needed driver modules loaded. And there 
are an awful lot of them.

You didn't say how you were loading the above modules, or where you got 
the info from. I just started with the 'insmod.sh' script that came with
the linux DVB drivers. That seems to just try to load everything, for 
every supported card.
The attached script is edited from 'linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1' version for my 
card. No parameters were needed, I just load all the modules, and it works.

This line will record ABC perth:

% dvbstream -qam 64 -bw 7 -tm 8  -cr 3_4 -gi 16 -f 226500 -n 600 -ps 512 
  650 -o > test.mpg

Of course, its from a script. The "-n 600" is seconds to record.

regards, Mike.
