[mythtv-users] Installing WinTV-HVR-1600 tuner card for MythTV

[George Langford]

System:
debian/etch, AMD CPU at 1.0GHz, 2GB RAM, GeForce 6200 with 256MB.
100GB spare hard drive space. Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 (74021 F tuner).

After getting the MythTV frontend and MySQL databases more-or-less started
up, I turned to the mythtv-backend.

I got this far:

None found running. OK

I have debian/etch: (2.6.18-5-k7)

> 1a. Download the latest
> sudo apt-get install mercurial linux-headers-$KERNEL_VERSION build-essential

I used this code:
> sudo apt-get install mercurial linux-headers-2.6.18-5-k7 build-essential

> hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

This worked OK:
> added 10304 changesets with 26556 changes to 1695 files
> 1226 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

But when it comes to the next steps, I hit a brick wall:
> 1b. Compile and add the module to your kernel:
>  cd v4l-dvb
>  make
>  sudo make install
>  sudo make unload
>  sudo modprobe cx18

The command, "cd v41-dvb" is a mystery.  Not "change directory" for sure.
Shorthand for something else ... ?
Should I have done these steps as root ... ?
There is no file name containing the characters, "v41-dvb."
Should I look in the CDROM's that came with the tuner card ?

Thanks,
