Nope. I've attached the log from that. I:

1. Channel Editor
2. Scan for channel(s)
3. Video Source is selected, as is Capture Card and Full Scan
4. All settings Auto, no Frequency set
5. Scan Progress says Scan Activity 0%, Signal Strength 99%, Signal/Noise 0%
6. Error tuning to transport

I should point out that I can watch TV in xine.
