That thread picked up on Lawrence's patch and reported success after 
changing the dtv_multiplex mod_sys setting to DVB-S;  in my table it's 
UNDEFINED, but the doxygen reference says that only DVB-S and DVB-S2 are 
supported atm.  I'm using dvb-t hardware, so neither seems relevant. 
Anyway, I wouldn't expect presence or absence of that field to affect 
myth's /detection/ of the hardware, which is what I'm using as the 
indicator of the problem.  This is v0.24.3-2-ge12af86.
