[mythtv-users] Input Connections is blank on setup

[James Pifer]

Jay,

Thanks for your help. I got it working finally, or least it looks like
it. I haven't actually viewed any TV yet, but the drivers are loaded and
the card is found. Plus, I can now fill out the Input Connection part of
Myth Setup.

Thanks for you assistance. 
James
