I have installed the dependencies from the readme.ubuntu file (different from post #7), and now folliwng the instructions in the readme.linux file. Okay, more reading for me to do. If I hit another wall and exhaust resources here and online, I will humble myself for another question...
Looking for some hand holding - Clean install of Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit) and all updates applied. Cloned the directory from the quoted GIT bootstrapped, configured, make, make install. I installed the MythTV backend. As I went through the setup - It did not detect my TVTuner (Hauppauge 2250). I then applied palm to forehead, as I realized I hadn't done any installation for the card since doing the clean install. I followed the
Linuxtv.org wiki and then retried MythTV. It is now detecting the card, BUT, I have tried every option in the card type drop down without success; Each time, it indicates a lock on every TV channel (2-69) with a signal strength of 99% and zips though the entire list. However, no actual channels are tuned in.
I have rebooted, tried with video0 and video1 options under each card, returned to the LinuxTV wiki and tried each of the three methods of "Getting it to work" and have ensured the firmware has been applied. This computer is still set up as a dual boot with Windows 7 and the tuner card works fine there. Also, I had it working under Ubuntu 12.04 with MythTV backend and front end.
I noticed one of the dropdowns is for an "IVTV" card. I also noticed that there are a few IVTV files available in the repositories. Should I be installing these?
Thanks in advance for your help.
