Hi,

I'm not able to get my wintv-hvr 850 to work.  It fails to find signal
in both x86-32 and x86-64 machines...

Some of the things I get (dmesg):

Any hints?  I don't have ms-windows machine, but I asked a guy to try
the usb device with the proprietary CD that came with it, and it
worked out out of the box (what a surprise for these things thought
for ms-windows only), so the device is working nice.

I would really appreciate any help you can provide.  BTW:

core/linux 3.0.4-1 (base) [installed]
    The Linux Kernel and modules

extra/v4l-utils 0.8.5-1 [installed]
    Userspace tools and conversion library for Video 4 Linux

community/linuxtv-dvb-apps 1.1.1-4 [installed]
    Viewer programs for DVB cards

community/tvtime 1.0.2-2 [installed]
    A high quality television application for use with video capture cards

I've tried channels scan with scantv,  tvtime and tvtime-scanner.
Neither detect a thing, :-(

Thanks,
