[mythtv-users] Problem with Winfast Expert Card

[Richard OBeirne]

I am attempting to run Knoppmyth R5C7 on an old machine which I know may struggle to support it. The computer is a Pentium 2 350 Mhz, 256 MB. and the tuner card is a Winfast 2000XP Expert. 
  
 I have succesfully installed and run MythTV setup.  I have followed Marcels' excellent instructions on installing the drivers http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10687&highlight=marcels 
  
 When I select Watch TV I get a blank screen.  
  
When I look at the logs /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages both indicate that the drivers are correctly installed with tuner=38 for Australia. Last part of /var/log/messages is 
  
     Code:     Sep 16  15:38:38 mythtv kernel: TV tuner 38 at 0x1fe, Radio tuner -1 at 0x1fe

 The only errors I can find in the logs is in /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log which gives

 This seems to indicate that it can't set the tuner to channel 7, my selected default.  
  
 Can anyone shed any light on my problem?
