Sorry people, its been a long day, ..... but my solution was something else.
In preparation for downgrading the kernel I added the custom rules file, as indicated by Vink. This was all that was needed to fix the card and TV playback on my system. I attach it in a zip. It needs to go here -> /etc/udev/rules.d/ (unzipped, of course) ** Attachment added: "custom udev rules" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37301078/50-udev.rules.zip -- dvb-t on asustek p7131 hybrid looks like poor quality signal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
