[mythtv-users] newbie just starting up mythbuntu

[David Sims]

Looks like the frontend logs are telling that it does not like my HVR950Q
capture device:

2012-01-28 18:15:46.352 ALSA, Error: snd_pcm_open("default:CARD=HVR950Q"):

This leads me to believe that I may need to find, download and install some
kind of drivers for this USB device.

Anyone else use this WinTV-HVR950Q on mythtv-ubuntu?
Have any helpful hints on how to correct these missing files/directories?

Take a look at your frontend logs:

/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
