[mythtv] DVB cards that support Terrestrial and Cable

[Scott Moncrieff]

I could use a fix for this if you have one. Have you got a way of
switching the card to DVB-T?

I have the card working on a system running 11.10 but just installed
12.04 (on another drive) and built the LinuxTV drivers and it doesn't
see it anymore.
