[Scott Pouliot]

Have you downloaded and installed ivtv?  I don't believe it's a standard
module...

Subject: [mythtv-users] Problems w insalling capture card driver

Got to the installing capture card portion of MythTV and hit a roadblock.  I
am running P4, 2.4 Ghz, with PVR-250 and Nvidia GeForce with 64Mb VRAM, and
256 MB memory on a 60 GB hard drive.
I went through the install guide step by step and  as you can see from the
output below, the system is not locating the module ivtv.  I included the
different outputs from the commands I ran and the output generated.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
George
