[mythtv-users] best setup in my case

[Albert Ulmer]

Now I'm really starting to go up the walls! ;) I managed to get MythTV
0.15.1, kernel 2.6.8 and libtv-dvb 1.1.1 compiled. All the modules I
think I need (or rahter hotplug recognizes) show up, but when
selecting the DVB-card in mythsetup, it says that there is no
recognized card in slot 0-3!

After a bit of reading I checked on /dev/dvb to see if there are any
adapters in there... /dev/dvb is empty! So I ran the MAKEDEV-DVB.sh
script to create those device files, but to no avail, MythTV still
can't see my card (SAA7146-based Hauppauge DVB-c Model 727).

How can I track down the problem?
