[mythtv-users] Capture card + remote + cables for $27.99

[Scott Pouliot]

I actually bought this card off eBay over a month ago, but was never able to
find the proper settings for it.  It definitely is a BT878 card...so if
anyone else is using this card...I'd love to know the tuner type you chose
as well as options.  I went nuts searching for info and trying numbers
without much luck.

I bought a PVR-250, but I'd love to get this working as a second tuner  ;-)

This seems to be the card I have (it's been 6-8 months so no guarantees).
It's a bt878 card and works just fine.  Since it's a less common card, I had
to specify the tuner type in modules.conf and do a lot of searching to get
the lirc setup right.
