and in dev i have the v4l folder,video symlinks and video video0 radio tuner

but no matter what program i try is never seems to see the card, i am still newish to linux - norm use the box as a htpc so if it works i tend to leave it alone - but had an idear of getting a tv card (good idear at the time - a nightmare now)

i did use search but all seem to point to pvr250 or 350

any help appreciated

nevermind i found the solution - see below for solution

Carpo, the advantage of these LQ forums is that the solution to YOUR problem may help somebody with THEIR problem. Maybe it was just a little thing that you did or originally forgot to do, but could you edit your "Solution" post and put the solution to your problem there? It just might help somebody out!

--vonSt

ye sorry was a bit pushed for time when i posted i had the solution and have been away since

Solution (so simple its almost untrue)

right baring in mind i was trying to to get mythtv to see the card, the solution may not work for other players (although it should), and i got the idear from a gentoo wiki ;p

all you have to do is make a few folders in /dev (dont know why they wernt already there but....)

make /dev/dvb/apdatper0 and then in there either copy dvb0.demux0 dvb0.dvr0 dvb0.frontend0 and dvb0.net0 from the /dev folder (if you use the stock kernel they should be there) and rename them to demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0 or create symlinks in /dev/dvb/apdatper0 to point to the files in /dev naming the links to demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0, and make sure you chmod them to 666
