Unfortunately I am of little or no help once we get into the specifics
of packages on MythDora. The last version of RedHat I ran was 7.2 (way
before Fedora Core was conceived), and I now run Mythbuntu on my system.
I know when I had Mythbuntu 8.04 I had to have a newer version of the
dvb drivers than what kernel 2.6.24 had in order to support the 800i. I
now run 2.6.27 and the drivers for the 800i are part of the kernel. What
kernel does MythDora 5 have? You may need to get a newer kernel, or
compile the drivers. Again I have more experience with Ubuntu.

Cheers,
James
