[mythtv-users] DVB card for Australia (melbourne)

[jason bright]

I just set one up with fusionHDTV DVB-T Lite + Remote. I think I paid $170.

Can't tell you if you'll get any DVB stuff working with knoppmyth. I
tried one of their alphas a month ago and I would only install with
kernel2.4 which is useless with DVB.  It was supposed to work with 2.6
but that refused to install for me. But i gave up pretty quickly.

So even if that works, check the current kernel version their putting
out and what your card needs...... from 2.6.9->2.6.11 there have been
tons of DVB fixes going in.

I tried knoppmyth for a second, got nowhere, and ended up buildling
the machine by hand using Jarods guide.  Plenty of pain, but a good
learning experience. It's all working for me now except Channel 9 -
something is wonky with it's signal and the auto channel detection
which i haven't figured out yet........

Good luck!
