RE: [mythtv-users] Fusion DVB-t lite card
Hi Greg, Regretfully my experience with linux is very limited at this stage - i strayed on the dark side many years ago when CPM was the way to do things and moved onto dos then windows. I have finally had enough of all of the problems and have come across to Linux. i have tried to folllow Chris's instructions - but have not been able to get far due to limited knowledge at this stage. I would be happy to follow his example if i knew how to. Any suggestions would be great.

RE: [mythtv-users] Fusion DVB-t lite card
The command to get this card working is: /sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx This loads the driver for the card. If you have not done this, try to run it as root. This should make the adapter0 item that mythtv refers to. You can then try running mythtvsetup again. Once that is working, you will need to get it to load automatically on startup - but you can load it manually each time until everything is working.

Any help or suggestions would be great - i am just about ready to pull the last of my hair out. Out of concern for your last few strands of hair have a look at this and see if any of it helps.
