[mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 fails to tune

[Jonathan Hoskin]

> I have just put a Nova-T 500 into a working mythbuntu 10.04 setup with an existing HVR 1200.

> I use w_scan to test tune the card and it detects no signal.  As mentioned above, w_scan finds the stations on the HVR 1200 still.

Not the 1.10 vs 1.20 firmware problem?

Try to symlink the 1.10 firmware over the top of the 1.20 firmware file and perform a cold boot:
