Hi,


 I use a InfiniTV 4 PCIe but I do not require the tuning adapter. So I
don't have any real working knowledge about using the tuning adapter.

However from what I have read about using the tuning adapter (from what I
remember) is all that is required after successful building “ctntad” is
putting it in a init script to start up.

I think “ctntad” well need to start after the Ceton drivers/service start
up and the card has an IP address and before MythTV service start up.

I hope that of some help.


 Kris.
