I have the Lite version of the card (which has the
connector, but came with no cable), so I'm only making
a semi-educated guess here.

I believe that in order to use an input with MythTV,
you have to have it configured as an input source
(done in the mythtv-setup program), which in turn has
some sort of listings associated with it (although you
can hack a "no-listings" setting), even if that
listing ends up reading as "NO DATA" in the EPG.

That would be my best guess why your keypress is being
ignored.
