Well, I think you might have a bit of work ahead of you. "Greyed
out" scan for channels is not good. This could mean that the
MythTV binaries you are using were not compiled with DVB support
included. I'm not sure of that, but it's almost exactly like what
happened to my system when I added 2.6.13 kernel with DVB
support. The difference is "greyed out" (your system) versus
missing scan button (my system).<br>
<br>
>From earlier posts, I got the feeling that you installed MythTV from
RPMs - that is from packages built by someone other than
yourself. And that's OK, but if the packages do not include DVB
support in MythTV, then you have to install a version that DOES include
DVB support.<br>
<br>
Long ago, I gave up on the RPMs, preferring to download all the
software in source form and compile it. Then there is little
doubt about what is supported and what isn't. This is my subtle
way of recommending that you take a deep breath and install from source.<br>
<br>
I know that if I were to receive news like the three paragraphs above,
I wouldn't be too happy, especially if I had never installed from
source before. But I can tell you from my experience of November
2004, when I made the decision to give up on RPMs, it was the right
thing to do (for me). The quality of the software packages, IVTV,
LIRC, and MythTV too, of course, is so good that I don't worry about it
at all. After installing from source several times, I have
complete confidence in all the packages.<br>
<br>
As for the question you asked about clearing all program data and
channel settings, you don't have to say Yes - at least not yet.
But that's not good news, because it seems very likely to me that you
have some re-building to do. At the very least, you have some
re-installing to do - specifically a version of MythTV that includes
DVB support.<br>
<br>
I hate to add the following (also not good news), but there is a
conflict between the IVTV version of tveeprom.ko and the kernel version
of that module. I add this point as a heads-up for after the DVB
problems are solved. My system has the conflict, now solved in
kind of a temporary way. I just wanted to give you as complete a
picture of what steps are needed to get your system working with both
PVR250 and HD3000 tuners.<br>
