Yes. I have done that. I know it is not my DVB card because that works with
Kaffeine without any problem.

When I look at the mythconverg database and the dtv_multiplex table there is
nothing in it. Is this correct?

Is it correct that source_id in the channel table should ALWAYS be '1'?
There is nothing in the mythtv help documentation to point to issues like
this - I know that it has still not reached version 1.0, but this lack of
documentation does cause me serious concerns.
