Description Marcus Schneider 2007-04-24 21:47:36 UTC
In the document the text
Hardware decoding: full-featured DVB cards
 Users of these expensive cards need not install anything else, so you may continue with configuring your channel list. 
is IMHO wrong.
I had to do:
echo "media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge linuxtv-dvb-firmware


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge linuxtv-dvb-firmware
2.echo "media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
3.

CCing the VDR team to take a look at this -- maybe get the arch teams to stabilize the affected package, if it actually *does* need to be emerged?
Comment 2 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-03 06:59:28 UTC
Those packages are all stable, not ~arch. Also, you haven't said which card you have, nor what the errors work, nor why this package worked for you.

Marking as RESO NEEDINFO, as we have no reason to change the guide until the reporter can provide more information.
