[20:45] <qwebirc28397> I'm looking for help configuring my WINTV USB II for use with MythTV.  The device shows up when I do an lsusb:
[20:45] <qwebirc28397> Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0573:4d20 Zoran Co. Personal Media Division (Nogatech) Hauppauge WinTV-USB II (PAL) with FM radio
[20:46] <qwebirc28397> But when I try to find it as a capture device in the Myth backend setup, I don't see anything that looks like the device.
[20:47] <qwebirc28397> Any pointers as to how to get Myth backend to recognize it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
[20:56] <Steve-Goodey> qwebirc28397: Is this an old card. This suggests that it has a lot of problems? http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg08521.html
[21:04] <qwebirc28397> Thanks for your response.  Yeah, I was expecting the quality might be poor (which seems to be what the posts are saying in the link you posted), but I was hoping I could at least get it recognized as a capture card.
[21:06] <qwebirc28397> Given the age of the device, it may not be worth much effort trying to get it set up.  But I am just beginning to play with Myth and was hoping to avoid having to buy a tuner card until I was more familiar with what it could do.  Hence the effort to reuse the ancient USB device.
[21:07] <qwebirc28397> I'm just not sure why the backend setup program isn't seeing it as a capture device.
[21:09] <Steve-Goodey> qwebirc28397: Needs firmware? dmesg shows anything? http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/USBVision_devices
[21:28] <qwebirc28397> Haven't found any firmware updates for the device, but will keep looking.  dmesg shows the tuner(tuner 3-0061: Tuner -1 found with type(s) Radio TV.--new instance created -- type set to 17 (Philips NTSC_M (MK2)) -- destroying instnce).  Sorry to be a new, but I'm not sure how to interpret that.
