[mythtv-users] DVB-T, Could not open card #0

[Markus Buchanan]

I had this problem with a Nebula DigiTV card, turned out the permission were
wrong. 

Have a look at the permissions on the device files, once I change mine Myth
was happy to register it.

Wow!!!  I think my AverMedia 771 DVB-T card is up and running.  I can run
tzap and get signal locks, but I can't use player to test (even after trying
to recompile with DVB support it just does not seem to understand the dvb://
argument.

Anyways, everything seems good, with the following output from DMESG

DVB: registering new adapter (bttv0).
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Zarlink MT352 DVB-T)...

The problem is that in Mythsetup, when I try and setup the adaptor, it
obvisouly recognises the card as being there but it cannot open the card,
the 'Device or Resource is busy'.  I am running everything as root and the
ls of the adaptor0 directory is as follows:

[myth at myth myth]$ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/ total 0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 1 Nov  4 23:09 audio0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 6 Nov  4 23:09 ca0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 4 Nov  4 23:09 demux0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 5 Nov  4 23:09 dvr0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 3 Nov  4 23:09 frontend0

crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 8 Nov  4 23:09 osd0
crw-rw----  1 root video 212, 0 Nov  4 23:09 video0

I don't know what, but in another post i read, the '212' part was
significant, something to do with a change in the major version number.  Of
what I don't know, but by soeone noting that, it fixed the guys problems.

Anyone have any decent ideas of a way to step forward???

Cheers,
Dave
