Hi all,<br>
<br>
I would like some help with migrating Mythtv 0.18 from Mandrake to
Gentoo. I have tried gentoo previously and have failed miserably. I
would like to know why.<br>
The hadware I have is<br>
<br>
AMD 2800+<br>
80gig hard drive<br>
512 Meg RAM<br>
Fusion Plus HDTV<br>
Audigy2 Sound card<br>
Nvidia GT6600<br>
<br>
I can get the dvb card working using kernel 2.6.3 and linuxtv modules.<br>
<br>
when I run dmesg my dvb card is found<br>
<br>
bttv: driver version 0.9.12 loaded<br>

I am not sure if it's bloatness in mandrake but my HDTV play back is a little jumpy and<br>
I get squeaks and pixels jumping across the screen.<br>
<br>
<br>
My plan is to install Gentoo 2005.1. Can anyone help me in building gentoo so that it works<br>
with my HDTV card? I don't know the difference between Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T and<br>
Divco VisionPlus DVB-T cards are they one in the same?<br>
last time I built the gentoo box and configured the DVB card I didn't get a <br>
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0<br>
directory structure but instead I got<br>
/dev/dvb.adapter0.frontend0<br>
<br>
I don't understand why, and mythtv, mplayer, xine could not find the card or the stream.<br>
I would ultimately like to smooth my dvb, and dvd playback.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
