OK.  My recent Myth problems were on camille, which thankfully is now

2

working.  Originally, I was trying to move my Myth installation to

3

carter, which is a dedicated linux box.  I wanted to do this so that I

4

could dual boot into Windows XP on camille more often.  I've been

5

applying all the advice I've been getting to carter's installation and

6

everything works except for Watch TV.  Carter's TV card is Hauppage

7

HVR-1950 (pvrusb2).  I can get video with it (I have the /eev/vieo0

8

device node and I can get a file by mplayer /dev/video0).  I'm thinking

9

the card type in Capture Cards in mythtv-setup might be the problem.

I'm using the recommended IVTV MPEG-2 Encoder card type.  What am I
