[mythtv-users] tuning fusion card on FC5

Sun Jul 30 08:46:31 UTC 2006

I'm not sure if it helps, but I also have this is my dmesg after I  
try the scanning

cx88[0]: irq mpeg  [0x100000] ts_err?*
cx88[0]/2: general errors: 0x00100000
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_timeout
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_timeout
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_timeout
cx88[0]/2: cx8802_timeout
