[mythtv-users] Getting DVB Working

[Paul Volkaerts]

Attached script is from linuxtv.org; it will create your DVB devices
assuming your are not running devfs (there is no file called /dev/.devfs).

Run the mythtv setup program and go to capture card and select DVB type.  It
should be saying something like "No file or directory" at the moment as its
error code.  Run the shell and try setup again.  If it says something like
"Permission denied" you need to fiddle with the permissions on /dev/dvb/...
If it says something like "Cannot open device" then you have to find a
working kernel version ----- something I'm in the middle of now since my
original mythv load crashed over the weekend.  I have had most success with
the 2.6.5.531 build that comes with FC2 but am trying other builds.
