The card type is 'Standard V4L capture card' and can not be changed. What
should dvd0 show up next to, I have viewo devide /dev/video0. shuld this be
/dev/dvb0?

2. Check that mythbackend is not running when you configure the

Is there a channel scan someware as well as 'Scan channel(s)'? sa I said I
can not navigete to/press this.

3. As an experiment, try running mythtvsetup as root. If the channel
