[mythtv-users] Setup-help for external set-top-box / receiver /
tuner

I have an external receiver for my digital cable connection. This receiver
has a Composite Video out, which I have connected to the Composite Video in
of my Hauppage Win TV PVR USB2.
In mytthtv-setup, I set up a dummy video source called STB and connected it
to my Video0 -> Composite input of my capture card. I created a fake
channel 3 with a null freqid and set that as the default channel for this
input connection.
When I go to live TV, I can see the video from whatever channel my STB is
tuned to. However, when I try to record it, it creates an empty recording.
I notice the following error in backend logs:
2005-12-19 11:22:53.125 Channel::GetCurrentChannelNum(): Failed to find
Channel ''
2005-12-19 11:22:53.125 Channel(/dev/video0)::TuneTo(): Error, failed to
find channel.
2005-12-19 11:22:53.125 TVRec(1) Error: Failed to set channel to 1.
NOTE: I am using SVN.
How do I get Myth not to try to tune to the frequency but simply record off
the stream coming from S-Video input? I'd appreciate any pointers on how to
set up the card input and connections to make this work.
Thx.
