I have had a bit of fun with this move as I was previously running vdr 1.3.18 with a FF dvb-t card and the new place has cable network, so I decided to get a cable card for the job.
The card in question is http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Supported_DVB_cards#Hauppauge.2FTT_Nexus-C...
Yesterday it work like this: Feb 23 17:00:58 [kernel] saa7146: register extension 'dvb'.

I haven't found from where that screenshot complaint comes as I do not have it specified to be loaded. :)
I grabbed the channels.conf file mentioned here: http://linvdr.org/mailinglists/vdr/2003/01/msg00266.html
and now my problem is this: Feb 25 07:35:01 [vdr] switching to channel 2 Feb 25 07:35:06 [vdr] ERROR: device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver! Feb 25 07:35:39 [vdr] switching to channel 3 Feb 25 07:35:44 [vdr] ERROR: device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver!
Suggestions? Should I go for the 2.6.11 kernel rc's or try some other combination of dvb driver versions?

2.6.11-rc4 didn't work any better at least. Still getting the "ERROR: device 1 has no lock, can't attach receiver!"

I'm guessing that you have the same problem as I do here in Helsinki. I have TT 2300 OT (which used to be TT 1100) which should be the same card as Nexus-CA, at least they both use STV0297 demodulator. The drivers for the card won't tune to channels with QAM128, and even if you succeed to tune to one, the picture and sound are really distorted. Look at this thread in the dvb-drivers mailing list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.dvb/14919

Fun bit is that all the channels are QAM128 in Turku. :) http://www.turunkaapelitv.fi/t_digi.shtml
