[mythtv-users] Dvico DVB-t lite capture cardinstallissuesunder2.6.11-1.35_FC3

[Matthew Carle]

Hi Justin,

You need to be logged in as root to use modprobe. If you logged in as root
directly, the command I gave should work. If you used "su" to change to
root, you can use:

/sbin/modprobe dvb-bt8xx

Basically when you have logged in as another user it doesn't know where to
find the command.

Regarding lirc, if irw works you should be fine.

Matthew.
