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.

Thanks for the advice!!!  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.

I think that probably is the problem.  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.
