    Ah yes, there's an inscrutable mention about it at the bottom. 
Assuming I'm supposed to include card=65 tuner=54 in the modprobe call, 
I did, ran tvtime, and managed to watch a bit of American Idol. So, does 
this mean I'm all set for mythtv? I tried it anyway, but didn't get very 
far because my mouse pointer keeps disappearing when I start it. Any 
idea why? Is it because I'm supposed to be using the remote? The 
keyboard's arrow keys worked on some screens, but not others, so I 
wasn't able to try the TV out.
