color=#0000ff size=2>I'm currently using the DVB drivers and they seem to work
pretty well at this time. I think our channel scans would be a little
different since you probably chose a different input card than I did.
Perhaps the Video4Linux input type instead of the DVB type. Is that
correct?</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

add<BR>> channels.<BR>><BR>> Initially I signed up for Zap2It and

<BR>> tune and I was able to<BR>> see all my local OTA

channels. The guide couldn't<BR>> tune, and the tuneable
channels had no guide! <BR>> Tonight I tried taking the<BR>> XMLTVIDs
from the Zap2It guide. I purged the<BR>> database and started
with a<BR>> clean one. I then scanned my OTA

values for each of my channels. Is this <BR>> the way it works

<DIV><BR><BR>Not used the Myth channel scan, but I took the slightly different

building a profile on zap2it, then manually tweaking the channel values
