[mythtv-users] DVB-C and mythTV : @home Netherlands

[Matthew Dansereau]

I ran into a similar issue with other utilities using DVB card perfectly &
Mythtv Not.
Are you using the "DVB" driver or "manufacturer" driver?
For instance.  I was using "PC HDTV 5500" in Mythtv & it simply wouldn't
work. Once I used the "DVB" driver in Mythtv everything worked great see
article
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/PcHDTV_HD-5500

It sounds like the Linux Kernel sees the card (otherwise you wouldn't have
access in Xine)
