[mythtv-users] .17 on fc3-only stays on one channel, despite changing!

[Scott Minneman]

I had the same problem for a while.  Turned out the bttv driver wasn't 
detecting my 2 WinTV Go card's tuners correctly.

I figured this out by running dmesg.  Scroll up until you see lines 
similar to the following:

bttv0: Hauppauge eeprom: model=29440, tuner=? (-1), radio=no
bttv0: using tuner=9

Note that on the first line, it's failing to detect a tuner properly.  
To fix this, in the file /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 (I run 
Gentoo on a 2.6 kernel, your distro/kernel might be different), I added 
the line

bttv tuner=9,9

This loads the bttv driver at startup, and tells it that both cards use 
tuner 9.

To figure out what tuner you have, you can go to 
http://www.mind.lu/~Eyg/ftvco/ and download the utility.

Hope this helps.
