I am attempting to run Knoppmyth R5C7 on an old machine which I know may struggle to support it. The computer is a Pentium 2 350 Mhz, 256 MB. and the tuner card is a Winfast 2000XP Expert.
I have succesfully installed and run MythTV setup. I have followed Marcels' excellent instructions on installing the drivers http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10687&highlight=marcels
When I select Watch TV I get a blank screen.
When I look at the logs /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages both indicate that the drivers are correctly installed with tuner=38 for Australia. Last part of /var/log/messages is

The only errors I can find in the logs is in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log which gives

This seems to indicate that it can't set the tuner to channel 7, my selected default.
Can anyone shed any light on my problem?
