[ivtv-users] hvr-1600 update

[Richard Ayotte]

You can get the latest snapshot of the driver from
http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2

Extract that file and instead of doing 1b, do the following.

cd v4l-dvb-e876c1b66fd8 (or whatever the directory that was created when you
extracted the the file)
make
sudo make install
sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
sudo make unload
sudo modprobe cx18
sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start

You can skip step 2 in the wiki because the firmware will already be
installed.

Make sure that the ivtv-utils package is installed, you'll need it to change
the channels. Continue from step 3. One thing that might not be obvious is
the external channel change command. Set it to "ivtv-tune -c". I needed it
to change the channels.
