[mythtv-users] pcHDTV-5500 setup

[Brad DerManouelian]

I just received a pcHDTV-5500 card. I've got it installed and  
working, but it seems my technical skill is surpassing my conceptual  
knowledge a bit. I understand this card can tune digital (OTA HD or  
from an HD source like a satellite or cable HD box) or analog. Am I  
able to take advantage of both at the same time?

Basically, I deleted all my tuners (I have a PVR-350 in this box as  
well, but I didn't add it back in as a tuner to help simplify  
things). I added my pcHDTV-5500 as a DVB tuner. I set up a listing  
source with zap2it, then scanned for channels. I have a bunch of  
channels like 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 9.1, 9.2, etc. that all work great (I'm  
in SF so I get quite a few HD OTA channels), but I also see channels  
like 4, 10, 12. I also see channels that do not exist in my zap2it  
listing like up in the hundred's. Did these come from zap2it or from  
the channel scan? Both? Can the pcHDTV-5500 tune these channels? When  
I choose one of these in LiveTV, it sits for a second, then tunes  
back to the previous good HD channel I was tuning (like 4.2).

I just read about using /dev/video1 (/dev/video0 I believe is my  
PVR-350 card - not sure how to tell which devices are coming from  
which card) for analog tuning. Do I set up 2 video cards for my one  
card? One for DVB and one for analog? If so, how will it resolve  
conflicts between the same card with two different "virtual" cards  
assigned to it?

If the answer is a wiki entry or page somewhere describing how to do  
this, I would be equally grateful as a detailed response. :)

Thanks,

Brad
