I'm trying to go down this route right now. If you look around on the
net you'll find a few people here and there who have it working. A few
have it working with mythtv. I have ATSC TV working and can view dvb
with sound in mplayer using "mplayer dvb://"
I can tune channels using azap and scanned using scan from dvb-utils.
DVB in kaffiene doesn't work. In mythtv I can't add any channels. It
refuses to parse my channels.conf file. Basically that's where I'm
stuck.
It completely doesn't work at all on my main desktop. Won't display
video under any circumstances even though drivers load fine and no
errors given anywhere. Working on the laptop so far, but again not in
mythtv.
