If you are running a kernel newer than 2.6.37 and you have the
correct<br>
firmware installed in the right spot, then the card will just
be<br>
recognized upon booting and the appropriate video devices will
be<br>
automatically created (/dev/dvb/adapterX for digital where X
is 0 and<br>
1 most likely, and /dev/videoX for analog, where X will again
be 0 and<br>
1 unless you have a webcam also, which may cause numbering
problems)<br>
<br>
Set up in MythTV as DVB and MPEG devices, respecively.<br>
<br>
You can also consider USB devices, but analog support on those
can<br>
vary wildly. Also, the HVR-1250 does not have it's analog
supported<br>
in linux as the 1250 analog is a dumb framegrabber versus the
hardware<br>
MPEG encoder for the 2250.<br>

So if I fresh install Mythbuntu 11.04 (2.6.38.8-generic) and drop
the correct firmware files in /lib/firmware, it should all just
work? That would be great. I just have to identify the correct
firmware files...<br>

That worked for me. Actually I put them in /lib/firmware/$(uname
-r). Does anyone know the best place to put them? As they are in
/lib/firmware/$(uname -r), when I upgrade the kernel I have to
remember to move the firmware or the card stops working.<br>
