<pre wrap=""><!---->
The pcHDTV card has 2 modes: ATSC and NTSC.
If you want NTSC, you can load the cx8800 module as one of the 'alias
char-major-81-x' group of lines and it will appear as /dev/videox. In this
mode, you can apparently get away with using the tveeprom-ivtv module (not
sure of this).
If you want ATSC, you must use the tveeprom module (not tveeprom-ivtv) and
the cx88-dvb and cx88-blackbird (for the mpeg encoder). These apparently
must be loaded after the ivtv stuff and the hardware appears at
/dev/dvb/adapter0.
Amended below, to match mine..

me either. When I used the dvb-tools (I think that's what they were
called... I'm getting forgetful with all this!) It installed the
following in modprobe.conf:<br>
(note that these are only 3 lines. 2nd line is long)<br>
<br>
alias char-major-81 cx88-blackbird<br>
install cx88-atsc /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
install cx88-dvb /sbin/modprobe cx8800;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
cx88-dvb<br>
install btcx-risc /sbin/modprobe tuner;/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install
btcx-risc<br>
<br>
I'm lost as to whether I need to have the alias char-major81 in there
or not.<br>
<br>
Very confusing.<br>

If you have to do this again, try cx88-dvb instead. I think that you get
this result because of the wrong tveeprom... just a guess

opps.. that's a typo. I DO use:<br>

/sbin/modprobe cx88-dvb<br>
