Getting started with Mythbuntu 9.10

After I have re-formatted my PC and started a clean installation of Mythbuntu 9.10 32-bit, now is the time for our quest to make this thing work with our new TV card.

Download the driver here.

Then you will find a H826D_Installer_x86_0.10-Beta_091126.tar.gz file.

Untar it

$ tar -xvf H826D_Installer_x86_0.10-Beta_091126.tar.gz

Then

$ cd H826D_Installer_x86_0.10-Beta

You will find an INSTALL.txt inside

AVerTV Volar HX/AX/MAX Driver Install Howto


1. Launch command terminal
2. Act as root to install driver. There are two ways to do this.

(1) Use sudo. Recommended for Ubuntu Linux users. You need to type your own
password:

$ sudo ./AVERMEDIA-Linux-x86-H826D-0.10-beta.sh
Password:"Type your password here"

(2) Use su. Recommended for most users. You need to type root password:

$ su
Password:"Type root password here"
# ./AVERMEDIA-Linux-x86-H826D-0.10-beta.sh

Then run the script. Make sure you are within the same directory of the script. If not, include the path of the script.

bitto@bitto:~$ ./AVERMEDIA-Linux-x64-H826D-0.10-beta.sh

After successfully running the script, just like I've described in the previous post.

Then unplug and plug your USB card

You will find these in your dmesg.

Well, the card is detected in this new platform.
