[mythtv-users] ?Card?

[George Nassas]

[ recapping the situation: it's established that you have a DVB tuner and it’s probably your PC150U card but you can’t get myth setup to acknowledge that it exists ]

I would start by doing an “ls -l /dev/dvb /dev/dvb/*/*” to review the device permissions. My DVB devices directories are world read/executable and the device entries under adapterN are group rw and the group is video. My BE runs as user mythtv and it’s in the video group so it picks up the rw permissions on the device.

The left/right arrow keys should cycle through your one device but if the permissions won’t allow myth to see it you can loosen things up by doing a "find /dev/dvb -exec chmod 777 {} \;”. Besides the arrow keys you can just type /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 into the DVB device box. At that point the Frontend ID box should say something to the effect of KWorld PC150U.
