Hi:  I've no experience of Mythbuntu, and things may have changed 
recently in 0.25, but in the past I've made several posts about setting 
up dvb-t channels.  This one, with a typo in the title, may give you a 
starting point.  Or search the site.

But there's a warning, too;  I've found that with recent kernels (post 
3.3.7-1 in Fedora) that if I delete my tuner cards I can't get them 
back. The main thing you need to do is 'Delete all channels' before a scan.
