[mythtv-users] Can't see my tuner card?

[Batshua bat Yehonatan]

I do not have another machine to try it in, but it's a new card.

I don't have another tuner card to try in that slot.

I don't know where to check for in in the BIOS on boot. Where should I be
looking?

I need to see if I have plates to cover the other slots in my box; I've got
the knockout kind, but if I do, I can try putting it in other slots.

I will try to find a Knoppix LiveCD to burn.
