But is your bttv module loaded with the correct card and tuner numbers? For example my bttv module stuff in /etc/modules.conf is as follows (yours will differ): alias char-major-81-0 bttv options bttv card=6 radio=0 tuner=6 No, I haven't done this (my modprobe.conf is at http://tangram.dnsalias.net:8008/~paulway/modprobe.txt - sorry about not thinking of including this earlier). How do I know which numbers to use? I couldn't see anything obvious in the output of dmesg that said where to get these numbers from.

[mythtv-users] No tuners on two bt-878 cards?
Hi all, I've mostly installed MythTV on my new box (the hardware list is at http://www.mabula.net/mythtv.html; it's running Fedora Core 3) and the essential problem seems to be that I can't actually tune in to any station. All the TV cards have been detected OK (as far as I can see) - the relevant logs can be found at: http://tangram.dnsalias.net:8008/~paulway/dmesg.txt http://tangram.dnsalias.net:8008/~paulway/lsmod.txt http://tangram.dnsalias.net:8008/~paulway/lspci.txt (I don't like to bombard people with huge logs - hope this is kosher.) When I run tvtime it can see the composite and S-Video inputs on either card (I think) but gives me errors in the form: videoinput: Can't get tuner info: Invalid argument. mythtvsetup also sees neither TV card, especially the DVB card - I'm not sure where to find the logs to give any further detail. I've also tried running ozradio and fm to try to get the FM tuner working; both of these seem to either segfault or hang in a kill -9 resistant way. I've tried countless google searches and read through a lot of the MythTV-users list archives, as well as followed the instructions on the MythTV and on the excellent WilsoNet site, but to no avail. I now throw myself at your mercy - I'm just not that savvy with the Linux internals to know where to look to solve this problem.
