Ooops-Sorry forgot to cc the list

I responded as follows:

Hi Mike

I have this card working fine in my myth box

Whilst the card is supported under Hardy,  the module doesn't turn on 
the cards on board tuner amplifier by default.

Try:

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
and
/Add:/ options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

and reboot

Then try tuning stations.  It'll probably tune fine

Hope this helps

Regards

Ian Bardsley
