[mythtv-users] Dvico DVB-t lite capture card installissuesunder2.6.11-1.35_FC3

[Justin & Debbie]

Hi Matthew,

Where/how do i use the modprobe command ?

I tried in from the mythtv directory and it came back with the following
error " bash: modprobe: command not found"

I actually got the lirc working perfectly - i think .. I can use the irw
utility and all the buttons work perfectly.

Regards

Justin
