Hey guys,
I've had the oppertunity, recently, to play around with a box and FloppyDTV card. Basicly an internal tuner card, that communicates via firewire. However, I can not seem to get it to work with MythTV.
This is the card; http://www.digital-everywhere.com/en/alcms/index.php?sid=1190057723
I can't seem to get the thing "primed", whatever that might be. I've spend many a fruitless hour mucking around with the thing, but to no avail. I cannot get any sort of communcation going with it. Also, Google, Wiki search and the likes either turn up nothing, or very old posts. So I am asking for you help. The current status is, it doesn't work, but I can detect something plugged into the FireWire card. The FireWire GUID does not show up in MythTV.
I've tinkered around quite a bit already, it's a clean system, nothing in there but Mythbuntu standard install. I've checked some Wiki entries and followed the steps, but they didn't help. I am afraid I am missing some basic ideas here.
Here are the pages I checked already;
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/FireWire
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would hate to have to build this into a Windows based media center.
These are the specs;
FireWire; off the shelf VIA VT6306 based
