Hello Nat,

Other than the IR device, did you get the digital part to work under MythTV?

I'm using the vanilla 2.6.25.4 kernel and compiled the snapshot from v4l-dvb 
separately. All the modules seem to load successfully and the analog part 
works without any problems but the digital part partially works. It can only 
scan about 4 over-the-air channels and it only successfully tunes into a 
channel 1 out of 10 times. And even when it does succeed, it takes around 3 
minutes to lock in. I know it's not a broadcast signal problem because I have 
another PCI digital tuner that works just fine. Please let me know if you 
have a common problem.

Thanks,
Yusik
