I have been using Ultimate 1.9 for some time now and I have been fascinated with the operation and features of MythTV, as a DVR.
Recently switched some drives around and disabled my Grub Loader, so I was offline for some time. Once I fixed that, I booted Ultimate and installed 49 updates. Everything seemed to be working fine until I tried to launch MythTV. When I chose Watch TV, the icon did nothing, so I checked the Myth Backend to see what was wrong.
My WinTV-HVR-1600 TV card was not being recognized in the Capture Card section. When this has happened in the past, I followed the procedure to reinstall the Firmware CX18, as outlined on the following site:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_HVR-1600
When I came to the part in the Compiling section, sudo modprobe cx18, I received an error that it could not find cx18.
At any rate, I finished the list of commands, without further error, but when I go to the Backend, and choose the Mpeg2 encoder card PVRx50, PVR500, /dev/video0 does not display for Device and the Probe fails.
Does anyone know how to fix this.
By the way, I switched to XP PRO and the WinTV app works there, so it is not a problem with the TV card.
