Ok.
This is what I have done so far. I have installed Mythbuntu 9.10 32-bit on
my PC. After that I have installed avertv volar ax driver which i got from
here<http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Support/Download.aspx?Type=Software&id=182&tab=APDriver>.
The installation went fine. Right now, Mythtv has detected my capture card.
I am trying to figure out how can I make mythTV scan for channels as the
list grabbers does not include my country. I'm based in Malaysia. My mentor
said that I have to test the card first using other tools to make sure that
it works. I ran this command:
bitto at bitto:~$ mplayer tv:// -tv
driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:alsa:adevice=hw.1,0:amode=1:audiorate=48000:forceaudio:volume=100:immediatemode=0:normid=0:freq=147250:outfmt=YUY2
but it yielded just this and an mplayer blank screen.

Then, I decided to continue with MythTV.
I found this site<https://sayap.com/blog/2008/12/30/mythtv-s-xmltv-grabber-for-malaysia-channels>which
tells how to grab Malaysia's channel. I have installed the tools as
instructed.

Then, I tried running the script that the site provided, but I got this
error. I don't understand it as I've never learned python and right now I am
trying to figure out what the script and error say.

Plus, I have tried ask the script author but she didn't reply yet.
