Hi All,

I decided to build my brother a mythtv box to convert him from
windows, to using a decent pvr system.
It is built on FC6 with Fluxbox on a pentium III 500mhz. My first
mythtv was the same proccesor and it ran great.
He gave me his twinham bt878 DVB card but I keep running into problems
can someone help.

First off Myth says can not open card.
I checked /dev/video0 but ths does not exists. /dev/dvb does though
I have ran #modprobe -v dvb-bt8xx

output
