Replying to myself...
I've done some more work on this, and it seems to me it's a MythTV
issue. I can't, for the life of me, get the Frequency to be anything
other than 884 (ivtvctl -a, look at "Frequency="). I finally did get
the /etc/rc.d/rc.local to set the frequency to 980 at boot, but as
soon as mythfrontend loads, it gets changed to 884.
I've tried changing all the settings I can think of, US-bcst,
US-cable, start on channel 2, start on channel 3, external tuner
channel 3, external tuner channel 4... and on and on...
No matter what I do (and yes, each time I run mythtv-setup I restart
the backend), I can not get Myth to use anything other than 884. I'm
starting to go a little mad.
Card is PVR-250, Tuner type 8. I've also tried stable and testing
ATRPMs for MythTV. Same behaviour for both.
Desperately seeking some suggestions...
