Mythbuntu 8.04.1 DVB Hardware Issue

[Simon Ives]

The system specs are as follows:

CPU: AMD Athlon 3000+ 2.00GHz (64bit)
RAM: 2x 512mb DDR400
Graphics: ATI Raedon 9550
Tuner: DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite

I should probably mention that this tuner card functions fine under
Windows XP in both windowed and full screen.  The only time I've ever
had issues is when running memory intensive applications while using the
tuner card at the same time.

Also, in the original I mentioned Mythbuntu 8.01 but it should actually
read 8.04.1.  Doubt this oversight would matter much though.

Thanks.
