Greetings, new member to the list here. I am attempting to build a low-profile PVR using MythTV, and have purchased a PixelView PlayTV PVR tuner card because it is the shortest tuner I could find (model PV-CX883PL+/CX881PL+). I found a reference in http://pvrhw.goldfish.org that says someone was able to get a PixelView card to work. I am having trouble though and and not sure where else to look for help...
I am running Mandrake 9.1 and have gone through most of the MythTV setup. However when I am asked to select my tuner card in the initial setup program it is not listed. I assume this means that the tuner is not installed.
I then ran lspci from the shell and saw this:
01:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant: Unknown device 8800 (rev b2)
I also ran lsmod from the shell and was unable to find bttv listed anywhere. I assume this means bttv is not running...
Anyone know how I can solve this issue? The reference in pvrhw.goldfish.org said the person used "tuner" as the driver, whatever that means...
thanks.
