[mythtv-users] DVB-T card buying advice

The entry for 15th June covers it a little bit but the main problem most
people have is that they either:
1) forget to connect the USB cable (either internally or externally)
2) connect both USB cables (which confuses the hell out of the kernel modules)
3) forget to download the black/bluebird firmware (if you have downloaded the
linuxtv source code there is script in the Docs folder that will download it
for you.

Once this is done you should get the following in dmesg:

hub 5-0:1.0: USB hub found

And lsmod should look thus:
