Shouldn't be using /dev/dvb and /dev/dvb0, that's the old DVB interface. Check
out this page, the device setup for the Air2PC is identical:

You should be using the device nodes in /dev/dvb/adapter0/.

Can't help ya on the other stuff right now. :-)

Thanks for the link. I'm not a kernel warrior so I'm now researching
how to reload the nvidia module after I make a new kernel. Seems when
I rename the kernel 2.6.10-DVB and reboot, my xserver crashes because
it can't find the nvidia module for the new kernel. Everything I've
tried has loaded old and new nvidia kernel mod into old kernels not
the new one I've created. I would like to have the latest nvidia
drivers and not the default "nv". Sorry to post this in the mythtv but
I'm at a stand still. If i'm going to be making custom kernels, I need
to know how to reload the nvidia kernels to keep my xserver.

Also do I load select the "B2C2/Technisat Air/Sk/CableStar 2 PCI". The
correct frontend, nxt2002, is automatically selected" in his setup for
the HD3000?

Do I load the pcHDTV 2.0 after this?

Sorry, I wasn't clear... I was simply pointing to that page to show the right
device setup to use. You can still use the stock FC3 kernel and all the
ATrpms kernel modules. I had only intended for you to take note of the part
on setting up device nodes in /dev/dvb/adapter0/.

Whewww!!! That, I don't have problems with. Thanks for helping out.
As a footnote: I reinstalled because I noticed my file system was not
xfs. When I created the LVM partition and created a mount for /video,
I must have forgot to select xfs. That left it usint the default. Also
I had not enabled Hyperthreading for my processor at the BIOS. I
beleive that now that I have the right configuration, I will not see
the jerky live HD3000. I'll post if this is the case.
