I was using 2.6.12-r9 I think, and linuxtv and dvico would not patch the kernel<br>
I would experience errors. So I ended up using the vanilla kernel. The problem<br>
I found was that when I loaded mythtvsetup and selected dvb, I got a message <br>
saying it could not locate the directory or file. I ran ls in /dev and foud the <br>
following structure<br>
<br>
/dev/dvb.adapter0.frontend0<br>
/dev/dvb.adapter0.audio0<br>
etc<br>
<br>
There was no /dev/dvb directory.<br>

I found out that ./configure --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/src/linuxtv-1.1.1<br>
would not add the dvb instruction set. I modified <a href="http://settings.pro">settings.pro</a><br>

<pre># DVB support<br>CONFIG += using_dvb<br>DEFINES += USING_DVB<br>INCLUDEPATH +=/usr/src/linuxtv-1.1.1<br><br></pre>
and now I can watch HDTV :) <br>

I don't like running applications as root, and prefer not to. I have reset the security<br>
settings to allow all users to run or access DVB<br>
