[mythtvnz] DVB-T signal strength

[Steve V]

Hi,

Thanks for that, I am definitely no expert in anything Linux.

Interestingly Michael reported that he tried it both ways (with hyphens and with underscores) and the options only worked with the hyphens.

Quote:
You should use hyphens, not underscores for dvb-usb-dib0700.  I know the module is named with underscores, but I just tested it both ways and it only works with hyphens.

I believe I've seen it written up wrong on a wiki somewhere as well.   I have been using underscores as well

I'll just jump in by mentioning that, when it comes to module naming, '-' and '_' are the syntactically equivalent... ie - is converted to _ as far as modprobe ( and rmmod ) are concerned.
