RE: [mythtv-users] WinFast 2000 XP Capture Card & FC3
Thank you for the clarification. I'll try these out and see if I can't get this card to work. Otherwise, I think I hear a 250 calling my name. I'll post back with my results...

[mythtv-users] WinFast 2000 XP Capture Card & FC3
I'm testing a machine with FC3 with the latest kernel with MythTV 0.17. I put in the Hauppage WinTV Radio Card. The card seems to be recognized by FC as a WinFast 2000 XP Card. I know this needs the CX8800 drivers. According to the website for the CX drivers, they are included in the 2.6 Kernel. I've added the Alias Char-Major-81-0 bttv Alias Char-Major-81 cx8800 in the modprobe.conf as Jarod's HOWTO says, however, the card is not being assigned a /dev/videox. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to recompile the Kernel with the CX drivers? I know with IVTV, its the ivtv-fb command that actually sets up the /video0. Is there a comparable command for the CX? Or is this card just not worth the time and effort? It was a free card for me to test with, so if it would be easier to go get a PVR-250 or something, its not a problem.

Yeah, I was starting it up through the Terminal. Just got it working yesterday and I haven't put in the script to start it automatically yet. Thanks for the help.

[mythtv-users] /video Permissions
When going through Jarod's install, I changed the default location that recordings and the LiveTV buffer to. However, I was getting an error that Access was being denied. When I gave everyone full access to the /video/recordings and /video/buffer folders, the Mythbackend started with no issues. What permissions should I set on those folders?

[mythtv-users] Trouble installing MythTV
Please try to forgive my ignorance. I'm relatively new to Linux (I took several courses a few years ago) and I'm trying to get MythTV installed. I'm running Fedora Core 3, latest kernel, according to Fedora's update program. I've been following the HOWTO from Wilsonet.com. I've got a PVR-350 and a WinTV model 401 in the machine. Its running an old NVIDIA TNT Vanta for a video card. Fedora seems to be recognizing both units, but /dev/videox isn't being setup for each one. I've used apt-get to install ivtv and bttv, but when I try to run /sbin/modprobe ivtv-fb, it gets a FATAL error and says the modules aren't loaded. Can anyone offer any advice? If you need more info about anything, let me know. Jeremy DeStefano (MCP) Ridge Support Technologies A Division of PC Solutions, Inc.
