I've been trying to get mythtv working on my Shuttle SN41G2 + nebula DigiTV 
DVB Card. Following advice in other threads I hardcoded the return value for 
the channel inputname to "Television". This allowed the card to be tunned 
however I noticed there was no text displayed when either the prog_info or 
browse onscreen displays where selected. I had started to go through the code 
to work out why when I saw your post and decided to try it out. Now I have a 
working on screen display ! Now all I need to do  is sort out why I'm getting 
so many "Audio buffer overflow, audio data lost!" messages.

Thanks again

Mike
