Everything seems to work until I reach this point where the /dev/dvb
entries just don't exist. I've upgraded udev to the latest version in
the development directory on atrpms.net

The /sbin/lspci -v brings up the following:
00:0b.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Winfast TV2000 XP (rev 05)

00:0b.4 Multimedia controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8804 (rev 05)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc.: Unknown device 9002
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 169
Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

Which is slightly different to that in the Howto, in that the howto has
a Phillips chip mentioned, where mine has Conexant.

I'm new to Fedora and Linux in genereal so would apprectiate any advice
on what I've done wrong, or any steps I can take to fix this.

PS. My system is Athlon 64 bit, so where I can I've used the x86_64 rpms
instead of the i386's.
