[mythtv-users] Can't get dvb-bt8xx to load front end at boot

[David Maher]

Thanks, Hamish, the problem is now solved, (see earlier posts). However
I believe your solution would work too, in FC4 the file in which you put
things that you don't want to load at boot is called "blacklist"
ie: /etc/hotplug/blacklist
