Oh ok thank you. I do remember downloading the ivtvdev driver from a different URL but I don't think it was this one. I might not have the most current one.

I appreciate all your help on this. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
