I've tried 10.04 RC server.  cx88 modules seem to load, and dmesg shows
the cards (I have 2), but after configuring under DVB in mythtv-setup,
it says it can't get card info and scanning gives an error that it can't
open the card.

I haven't tried the workaround from the original bug report, but the
same hardware configuration worked a couple weeks ago with Mythbuntu
9.04.

I'm using 10.04 RC server with mythtv-backend and mythtv-database
installed and firmware copied to /lib/firmware.

I've also tried 9.10 server with the same configuration, and 10.04 RC
server as an upgrade from 9.10 (rather than a clean install).  All gave
the same results.

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged

Bug description:
First, let's start with my hardware:
 - Asus K8N-E motherboard
 - nVidia 6200 video card
 - pcHDTV HD3000 tuner

I have installed the Mythbuntu 8.04 Beta at least half a dozen times and have observed:

When I get into the Myth configuration process, Step 2 (Capture Card setup), if I take the default settings (V4L) then the HD3000 is properly detected and works.  If I change the selection to DVB (to use the HD3000 in ATSC mode) the HD3000 is not detected; for 'Frontend ID' I get 'Could not get card info for card #0 Subty'.  (The message is clipped by the dialog box frame, not by the screen edge.)

If I:
 1) take the default V4L
 2) complete all of the setup (through Step 4)
 3) reboot
 4) launch setup again

then I can edit the Capture Card, change it to DVB, and the HD3000 will be correctly detected and will work.  If I edit the Capture Card during the initial setup (without rebooting) then it still isn't detected.

I don't know whether this is a Mythbuntu bug or a MythTV bug.
