[mythtv-users] 1st tuner on Nova-t 500 can't tune

[Henrik Beckman]

Signal strenght on my nova-t500 is always between 55 and 65 except for a few
channels that are 100%.
My card has had disconnect problems but hopefully the streaming patch will
solve that,  anyway what frequencies are
the bad MUX at ?
