[mythtv-users] mythtv with conexant nova-t on FC3

[Neil Raymond]

Hi

I'm a bit of a newbie, so apologies in advance for any stupid questions, but 
I'm hoping someone can help me get Mythtv up and running with DVB.

I've got to the point where I can watch TV using dvbstream and mplayer. This 
was done using kernel 2.6.9-1.667 patched with All-2.6.9-rc4.diff.gz from 
http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/ and installing udev-050-9.

Tzap produces the following output:

[root at linux1 szap]# ./tzap "BBC ONE"
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
reading channels from file '/root/.tzap/channels.conf'
tuning to 505833330 Hz
video pid 0x0258, audio pid 0x0259
status 01 | signal 0040 | snr 8000 | ber 00003fff | unc 00000000 |
status 1f | signal 0041 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK
status 1f | signal 0041 | snr ffff | ber 00000000 | unc 00000000 | 
FE_HAS_LOCK

and I can watch TV no problem with dvbstream and mplayer.

I downloaded mythtv from CVS on 10/4/05, ran configure using the following 
options:

./configure  --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/src/dvb/include

and compiled it without any problems (/usr/src/dvb/include contains

[root at linux1 mythtv]# ls -l /usr/src/dvb/include/linux/dvb/
total 52

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 6855 Apr 10 11:03 video.h

that I copied out of the kernel source tree).

I've run the setup program and configured the card video source and input 
connection (see here 
http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/neilaraymond/album?.dir=/d5b9&.src=ph ). 
However, when I try scanning for channels mythtv eventually returns "Error 
tuning to transport" I get the following output on the console:

I also seem to be missing some DVB options on the channel editor screen - I 
only seem to get options for analogue TV (see screenshots again).

Any help would be appreciated.
