1.  It was working fine yesterday until I updated to a new kernel . . . 
. so then -

2.  Download IT9135 driver from: -
	wasietsmet.nl/.../zolid-usb-dvb-t-tuner-van-de-aldi-linux-drivers/

3.  $sudo sh IT9135_Installer_i686.sh

4.  $cat /var/log/messages   should now show the new receiver in a warm 
state.

5.  Mythtv backend setup to utilise this new tuner.

6.  HOWEVER, I then found tuner 1 generated a pixelated image with 
intermittent sound and tuner 2 refused to produce video or audio.  With 
tuner 2 deleted tuner 1 is AOK.  Rescanning tuner2 now generates no locks.

Investigations continue . . . .  You may have better luck, or worse.
