[mythtv-users] PVR250 can't change channel

My system consists of 2 pvr250's that were original setup on s-video inputs
but I have since changed them to "tuner" input. I'm now unable to change the
channels? as well as set any programs for recordings? anyone have any ideas?

I was not able to manully record using "cat /dev/video0 >
/tmp/test_capture.mpg" then "mplayer -vo xv /tmp/test_capture.mpg" as can be
seen below, but I can actually watch TV in MYTH?
