[mythtv-users] Sudden DVB issue

[Ian Clark]

Hmm, if the card is missing in lspci that does sound like a hardware issue.

Does moving the card to a different slot help?

Have you tried removing and reinserting the card?

Does your new kernel use ACPI when the old one didn't? (I'm clutching at
straws here.)
