[mythtv-users] LG TPI8NSR11F tuner?

[John Davis]

Good day all -
New to the list, etc, etc. I am attempting to get my Hauppauge TV
(model 44801, see dmesg info) card up and running with mythtv, but
have had little to no success. I cannot seem to find a tuner in
CARDLIST.tuner that fits the LG TPI8NSR11F tuner chip on my card. I
have googled the tuner and have found that it is indeed listed in the
tveeprom module sourcecode, but I am not quite sure how to activate
it.

I have tried tuners (from CARDLIST.tuner) 2, 27, 37, and 39 with
little to no success. At best, I can only lock onto one channel (which
is half scrambled anyway).

Below is the information from dmesg when I run "modprobe bttv
card=10". My kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r9. TIA for the help.
