[mythtv] Couple Newbie Questions -- One Step Closer

[Oatz]

I'd suggest compiling your own kernel if you haven't already, it's much
easier IMHO to compile 90% of the vfl/tuner support into the kernel and only
worry about bttv and tv card modules.

Are you up to compiling a fresh kernel? Its not hard.

Important things for my ATI TV wonder...
 I2O device support  --->
 <*>   I2O PCI support

Video For Linux  --->
 [*]   V4L information in proc filesystem
<M>   BT848 Video For Linux

Character devices  --->
 I2C support  --->
 <*> I2C support
 <*> I2C bit-banging interfaces
 <*> I2C /proc interface (required for hardware sensors)      # not sure if
you need this

 Sound  --->
 <*> Sound card support
 <M>   TV card (bt848) mixer support

Your milage may vary.

Cheers,
Oatz
