Finally it works! I installed Mythbuntu 9.10 and created the ‘options’ file as you mentioned above. And then my TV card worked instantly! Now I installed Ubuntu 9.10, created the options file again and still everything is OK. I re-installed Ubuntu, coz I prefer the Gnome interface.
Maybe I had these problems half a year ago, because I didn’t create the options file with sudo. I’m not sure if that was the problem, but it sounds plausible to me.

One more remark:
It’s better to call the file ‘options.conf’, otherwise a warning is created that files in modprobe.d need a .conf extension for future use.

If I run the rmmod and modprobe commands in the order given in original post, I get the following output from dmesg. The blank line indicates the shift from the rmmod to the modprobe commands.

Also here is a the output from lsmod, in case you might have some modules loaded which conflict with the cx88xx modules.

This is the output I get when running tvtime from a shell.

Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/lukasz/.tvtime/tvtime.xml

Based on your I/O error output, it looks like you might have some user rights issues with the ‘mythtvuser’.

Hope this helps :-)

Thanks for the info above. I have a AOpen XCcube AV EA65 with the same TV card (I think).

I think your info got me any further, but still I ain’t there yet. But I am actually using Ubuntu 9.04. Here I don’t have the /etc/modprobe.d/options file, so I created one. But I got a warning that I had to rename the file to options.conf, when running modprobe (so modprobe IS using the file). So I changed the filename. But still no succes. I tried ‘scan’, Kaffeine and the tvtime you mentioned above. But nothing works.

scan gives the most clear error:
mythtvuser@mythtv-desktop:~$ scan /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nl-All > ~/.tzap/channels.conf
scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-t/nl-All
using ‘/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0′ and ‘/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0′
main:2273: FATAL: failed to open ‘/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0′: 2 No such file or directory

And tvtime gives a whole list of errors. Here are the first few lines:
mythtvuser@mythtv-desktop:~$ tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.2.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
I/O warning : failed to load external entity “/home/mythtvuser/.tvtime/tvtime.xml”

Cannot allocate enough off-screen video memory. This may be fixed by:

1. Closing or restarting large X applications.
2. Lowering the input width of tvtime (–inputwidth parameter).
3. Lowering your colour depth or highest configured resolution.
4. Increasing the amount of video memory in your X config file
(for example, if you are using the i810 XFree86 driver.)

See http://tvtime.net/ for more information.

Do you have any idea what I am missing?
