Hey all -

I am STILL having a hard time with this issue. I cannot get it to scan
NTSC channels in Myth. When I attempt to do so, I see this
error....apparently it can't open the NTSC tuner. Do I have a device
driver missing?

The expert over on the pcHDTV forum believes it's a Myth configuration
issue.  Have any of you with this card had this problem?

Here is the dmesg info:

I can scan in the QAM-256 channels on the DVB side.

This is the ONLY thing keeping me from getting this kick-ass 768GB HD PVR
system working. Am I going to have to get another tuner card for the NTSC
channels? I certainly hope not! I have been told by more than one person
that it shouldn't be this hard to get both tuners on this card working.

If anyone can clue me in as to what I'm doing wrong, please let me know!

Thanks....Bob
