I am new to Linux (somewhat) and I am running Linux mint 9. So far so
good, I have replaced dreamweaver with NVU, office with open office.
Outlook with evolution and so on. Everything is now perfect no looking
back to windows except I just spent about 1.5 hours going through
configuring mythtv only to find it doesn't think my pinnacle usb hd
stick is a dvb device. So i did more research and stumbled upon all of
your hard work and tried downloading the tar for my device but it
wouldn't download. 2 questions 1) will this device work now 2) how do I
implement all of you fixes in mint Linux 9 gnome running mythtv?
thanks for any help

The 801e driver only has support currently for ATSC/ClearQAM (which is
why it appears as a DVB device). The driver does not have any support
for analog (e.g. the analog tuner or the composite/s-video inputs).
Run ls /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 and if you see an entry then the
driver loaded successfully. Also, you may need to load firmware (it's
bundled by default with a number of distributions but I don't know
about Mint). If you don't have it, you can get it here:
