[mythtv-users] Problem getting AverTVHD A180 going.

I had this same problem. It seems my knoppmyth install was loading the
wrong tuner. It was setup as V-Stream Studio TV Terminator under DVB.
I found some on the web that fixed it I can't find the link but I do
have it saved. Folled the in structions and bingo I have HD. Crappy HD
but HD stutters bigtime.
Read Below
******************************************************************
To get things working in KnoppMyth (I am using the R5E50 release), I did
have to do some work. First off, my first tuner was getting detected as
a "V-Stream Studio TV Terminator"!!!
dmesg output:
saa7133[0]: subsystem: 1461:1044, board: V-Stream Studio TV Terminator
[card=65,insmod option]
After quite a bit of digging, I noticed that one of the init scripts,
/etc/init.d/KnoppMyth-tv, was calling a script way down at the bottom
called "/usr/local/bin/tvterm.sh". Looking at that script, I saw:
/usr/local/bin/tvterm.sh:
#!/bin/bash
lspci | grep SAA7133/SAA7135 > /tmp/tvterm
if [ ! -s /tmp/tvterm ]; then
exit
else
echo -e "\033[1mSetting up Studio TV Terminator.\033[0m"
rmmod saa7134 &> /dev/null
modprobe saa7134 card=65
fi
Well, duh! The script greps lspci output for 7133/7135 chipsets and then
assumes it is a Studio TV Terminator card!! At least I guess you could
say the script is appropriately named though, as it did terminate my tv
experience. :)
To fix, I simply commented out the call to tvterm in the KnoppMyth-tv
init script. Then, I set up an init script to call "modprobe
saa7134-dvb". I did some other stuff in there that is probably
unnecessary, but here it is (I put it in /etc/init.d, then ran
update-rc.d to include it as an init script):
/etc/init.d/saa7134-dvb-install.sh:
#! /bin/sh
echo "In my saa7134 installer script ..."
echo "Loading module saa7134 ..."
modprobe saa7134
echo "Running depmod -a"
depmod -a
echo "Loading module saa7134-dvb ..."
modprobe saa7134-dvb

Guys, I hope this is simple, because it's killing me!
I have a perfectly working MythTV on Debian etch, brand new core-duo
2.4, lots
of all the stuff. My TV card is a PVR-150. Works beautifully.
So now, I want to add a card to get the hi-definition, and I don't know
what
to do. I follow this wiki:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/AVerTV_HD_A180
I get the driver loaded, modprobe saa7134-dvb.
My local cable is COX and there are TWO listings on zap2it:
1.Cox Comm South County - San Diego
2.Cox Comm South County - San Diego - Digital
(I have been using the #1 for my PVR150)
I do "mythtv-setup" and add capture card, select "DVB DTV capture card
(v3.x)
I click finish. I then point my input connection for the A180 to the
"digital"
source.
In summary, doing this - nothing works, and I see this error in the
terminal
of mythtv-setup:
DiSEqCDevTree, Warning: No device tree for cardid 2.
Please, show me the error of my ways, I am obviously doing something
VERY
wrong....
Thanks
Mike
