[mythtv-users] MythTV does not recognize my Twinhan DVB card

[Niels Dybdahl]

Hi,

I am running MythTV 0.16 on FC3.
I have recently added a Twinhan VisionPlus 1022 card, which is recognized by FC3 according to messages.
However when I run mythtvsetup, it states that it does not find any DVB devices.
I have noticed that there were no entries below /dev/dvb, so I found:
http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/personal/angel/mythtv/air2pc-howto.html
which suggest to use mknod to create devices in /etc/udev/devices/dvb/adapter0. (audio0, ca0, demux0, dvr0, frontend0, net0, osd0, video). Do I need the same devices for a VisionPlus board ? And why is the video device without a trailing 0 while the others contain a zero ?

However I tried to do the same. I now get devices in /dev/dvb after reboot, but MythTV still does not find any DVB device. What does MythTV look for ? I would appreciate if somebody could describe briefly how the driver interface works. I do not understand how MythTV could communicate with a driver via the /dev/dvb entries, if the driver itself has not created those entries.

I also read that MythTV 0.17 has better DVB support, so would there be any chance that my problems disappear after an upgrade ?

My best guess is that I miss something in my modprobe.conf. Does anyone run a VisionPlus card on FC3 and want to share his modprobe.conf ?

Best regards
Niels Dybdahl
