Dennis, thanks for that info. At least knowing someone else has this
setup running boosts my confidence :)

OK, I downloaded the firmware files from pcHDTV's website, and moved
dvb-fe-or51132-qam.fw, dvb-fe-or51132-vsb.fw and dvb-fe-or51211.fw to
/lib/firmware

OK, I think I'm stuck at this spot. I am running kernel
2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 (from the latest yum update). However, after
completing the previous step and rebooting, I don't have anything
under /dev/dvb. All I have is video (which is a symlink to video0),
video0, video24 and video32. I tried running "modprobe bttv", and
here's what I got:

FATAL: Error inserting bttv
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-1.1526_FC4/kernel/drivers/media/video/bttv.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg give me:

bttv: disagrees about version of symbol tveeprom_hauppauge_analog
bttv: Unknown symbol tveeprom_hauppauge_analog

Hmmmm. Getting closer, but I'm still not sure where to go from here ...

I got the latest CVS, but I can't get it to compile without errors.
However, I have a feeling it's because I can't get past step 1 ...
