[mythtv-users] DVB capture card problems after update

[Phill Edwards]

I'm running MythTV installed from ATrpms on a CentOS box. It was a
CentOS 5.2 box until earlier this week, but I did a "yum update"
earlier this week and I think it's now CentOS 5.3

I have noticed that my capture cards are no longer working and the
coincidence is too big for it not to be related. I have 2
KWorld/VStream XPert DVB-T cards which have always worked flawlessly.
Now when I try to watch LiveTV I can't and I get a mythfrontend error
that says "failed to get recording show list". I think this is a
symptom of the tuner cards being misconfigured.

So I deleted the cards in mythtvsetup and recreated them, but the
auto-probing detects them as V4L cards whereas they should (and used
to, I think) be showing up as DVB cards. I think this must be due to
the fact that I'm running a newer version of the kernel now
(2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.centos.plus), but I don't know what to do about
it.

The cards are also coming up as V4L in dmesg too, and there also needs
to be some sort of error at the end:

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the cards detected correctly
(if that is in fact the solution)?
