I hate to say it, but I did recommend looking at the supported hardware on <a href="http://mythtv.org">mythtv.org</a> first:<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Video_capture_cards">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Video_capture_cards</a><br>

</div>That might be the quicker answer, In theory you can write a udev rule<br>
to do this but I'm note sure how.... I'm sure ln -s is not the right<br>
command!<br>
<br>
Its not that the machine has multiple tuner its that it has a tuner<br>
with a multiple frontends ie 1 tuner that that can be a satellite<br>
tuner or a freeview tuner just not both at the same time. So Myth has<br>
to have some "knowledge" of this fact to know thats its an either, or<br>
but not both at once.<br>
<br>
Hence Myth needs to know about the second tuner front end and also<br>
know that it can't use both front ends at once..... From what I read<br>
myth handles multiple tuners as they appear as separate adapters even<br>
when on the same device.<br>
<br>
I don't like having to recompile v4l to get it working :(<br>
