I think my DVB devices are OK, I had to run a script I found somewhere to create them, but I even gave them 777 permissions just to make sure that wasn't a problem. > I had initially skipped the install of pcHDTV's headers into > /usr/include/linux/dvb (see the pCHTV-2.0 Makefile), but MythTV could > not successfully see the card using DVB until I did so.

I do have the headers in /usr/include/linux/dvb but I did not build MythTV myself. I may try doing that and see what happens. > With V4L, I have read that the pcHDTV-2.0 drivers no longer want to > start at minor number 32, and instead the device is present at > /dev/video0; MythTV is looking for devices starting at 32.

I tried symlinking /dev/video0 to /dev/video32, but MythTV seems smart enough to figure out it's not the real device it wants. I can rename /dev/video32 to /dev/foobar and MythTV will still find it!! And if it's not there, it just goes to minor 33. I think I'll give the CVS builds a try and see if the new code will see it at /dev/video0, and if not I'll just patch it and see if I can get it working. Brian
