[mythtv-users] tuning fusion card on FC5

Sun Jul 30 07:32:13 UTC 2006

Hi,
I don't have another card, but when I installed the drivers, I was  
using the internal USB cable instead of the external one.. I later  
changed to the external after seeing a message about USB 1.1 on my  
dmesg (though I'm sure the internal USB plugs are USB 2.0.....)

Is it possible that it's a driver, or permissions thing, or should I  
be looking elsewhere?

Cheers!!
Ant.
