[mythtv-users] DVB-S cards

Hello Wim,

It seems like you have a different CI module as well. Mine is a rev1 I
believe (blue pcb). The kernel version can be found by running 'uname -r'.
Looking at Knoppmyth's release notes it mentions ivtv 0.4.4 which is for
2.6.15 and older kernels, so there is a good chance my DVB-S card wont work
anyway.
When I find time I'll try Knoppmyth with the Twinhan 1030A card I have.
Later I can try a kernel upgrade and see if the KNC1 card works too.

Thanks again,


Jelte
