[mythtv-users] drivers for Ceton InfiniTV USB tuner

[Ronald Frazier]

You still need to USB drivers. The USB model Ceton uses the ECM drivers to
support the network part of the device, so you will be able to access the
Ceton's web interface even if you don't have any drivers installed (so it's
sort of a misdirection that makes you think it's all working). However, the
RTP streaming does not work without the USB drivers running. I can't recall
if you need to merely install the drivers, or if there is a process that
you need to make sure starts (that might only be for the tuning adapter
driver...I always get those two mixed up as I have neither tuning adapters
nor a USB model).
