[mythtv-users] LiveTV and a pvr350

Mon Nov 22 07:51:37 UTC 2004

Try loading the modules without any arguments (remove the tuner= option in
modules.conf). I don't guarantee the autodetection will work fine but at
least that's how I did it with my PVR cards and it does automatically
select the right tuner to use for me.

HTH,

Patrick
