[mythtvnz] iTVC16 with MythBuntu does not detect card

[McVicker, Brian (NZ - Auckland)]

I had something similar with 11.04 not starting the backend after I set up my Hauppauge card.
Under the frontend settings it lets you put in the command for starting the backend when the frontend loads (can't remember the exact screen, but it tells you the command to enter).

Although after setting it up I had some stability issues with 11.04 so installed 10.04 instead.

Is this the problem with v4l1 being removed from recent kernels, and
rendering some cards inoperable with mythtv? If so, I believe the
latest mythbuntu packages are patched to fix it. Install mythbuntu
repos and update your system.

If that doesn't work, try mythbuntu 10.04
