[mythtv-users] Trouble configuring tuner

[Alex Winfield]

Hello, all.

I've got a Hauppauge HVR-1250, and I need a little help.  I'm almost
positive that I'm missing something very basic, as all signs indicate
everything should be working.

I installed the device, lspci and dmesg lead me to believe that it's been
recognized and loaded (output from those two below), but there are no
related entries in /dev.  I'm thinking I probably need to mount the tuner to
/dev/video0, but from what I've read, it sounds like that normally happens
auto-magically.

So there's the problem: device is installed, but is not populated into /dev.

Perhaps helpful command output:
lspci -v

04)
    Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. Device 2259

IRQ 18/cx23885[0]: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs

Both "ls /dev | grep vide" and "ls /dev | grep dvb" show nothing.  I've
never played with a tuner before, but from the guides I've seen it looks
like /dev/video0 is what I should be looking for.  Any ideas on what I'm
missing?
