I will look into that Phill thanks.  I managed to create 4 (???) dvb
'things' (i.e. /dev/dvb/adaptor0/*) but myth still had trouble.  You
may be on to something.

Just a quick question, which flavor of linux are you running atm?


The problem with trauling the web is that so many people have slightly
varying setups and do things so differently that there doesn't appear
to be a common way to get this working across the board :|

I know it will work, it worked under FC2, it is just getting there in
as little pain and with as few sleepless nights as possible ;)

Thanks,
Whytey
