[mythtv-users] Which drivers for HD-5500 ATSC and NTSC?

I guess I should have giving more info. With Feisty, I do these commands at
boot:

sudo modprobe -r cx88-blackbird
sudo modprobe -r cx88-dvb
sudo modprobe -r saa7134-dvb
sudo modprobe cx88-alsa
sudo modprobe cx88-dvb
sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/dvb/adapter0
sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/video*

I installed mythtv from svn 12618. I was able to get ATSC to scan and work
fine in mythfrontend. After this I went back into mythtv-setup to setup the
NTSC side of my HD-5500. I go to the input section, NTSC televison section,
and fetch the channels from Zap2It. The channel data populates correctly.
When I go to exit mythtv-setup it complains that "Card 0 (type ) is set to
channel 3, and it does not exist". Dmesg shows this:

[ 1731.426100] lgdt330x: lgdt3303_read_snr: Modulation set to unsupported
value
[ 1731.428173] KERN_WARNING lgdt330x: lgdt3303_read_status: Modulation set
to unsupported value

Mythfrontend crashes when trying to view NTSC. After this happened I erased
the mythconverg database and started over. Now ATSC doesn't even scan
channels. I get no signal when scanning and mythtv-setup shows an error like
this:

DiSEqCDevTree, Warning: No device tree for cardid 1
DVBSignalMonitor(0)::constructor(-1,Warning, can not measure Signal
Strength): Remote I/O error

Which kernel should I be using? What version of Mythtv works with this card?
Is there a special order to load the modules? If someone has a working
configuration please help me...
