My understanding from the documentation was that rtl28xxu is a driver,
not a device.  As nox wrote in https://wiki.freebsd.org/WebcamCompat
about the R820T SDR, ID 0x0bda:0x2838 (my DVB-T tuner):

  Driver or kernel module: webcamd(8) via rtl28xxu Linux driver

I can't find any way to refer to this driver, though clearly it's not
the issue.

Certainly I shouldn't be using it, since this is a DVB-T tuner.  This
is puzzling: why is MythTV even trying to use it?  I can't find any
reference to it in the DVB-T setup, which isn't surprising.  Does
webcamd have any connection with DiSEqC?
