[ale] mythtv capture card issues

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

I have Mythubuntu 10.10 on this box.  I have dedicated this machine entirely
as a backend (aka the primary backend).

I have the Hauppauge PVR 150 analog card on this machine.  I even installed
the IVTV-utils package from ubuntu but this PVR 150 card does not get
recognized.

I can proceed to do other things but first I want this tuner card to get
recognized so I can start connecting my set top box via the Svideo connector
and also record OTA channels.

I would like to  make this card recognizable.

Is there any MYTH fest around the corner ?

You guys think that if I bring this box to the ITT place on Feb 19th it
might help

Regards,

Did you set up one of the numerous Myth flavored distributions out there?
They all have the drivers setup so that you don't have to download them.

I've had good luck with mythbuntu. But any of Mythdora, KnoppiMyth, or any
of the others should be helpful.

Just a word of advice: It's almost always better to set up the backend as a
separate machine whos sole purpose is to manage myth. Since the cards
handle the encoding, pretty much any machine is fine for the task.

Also remember that you'll need to get a Schedules Direct account for the
schedules.

See about getting a Myth distribution Live CD and test with it.

With myth servers coming prepackaged in distributions, there's little need
to try to cobble it together by hand.
