[mythtv-users] Problems with Avermedia USB DVB-T Card

[Ian Barton]

I have recently set up MythTV on Ubuntu Breezy preview release. I am
using an Avermedia USB DVB-T card. I have compiled the drivers and the
card works fine with Xine.

MythTV detects the card correctly and scans the channels OK. However,
when I try to view live TV it seems it can't see the card. Here is an
extract of the log:

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this problem?
