I am able to scan both channels. I am using the v4l TV tuner that
appears as a subdevice of the DVB device, specifically the "Television"
input. Also, under the analog setup dialog for the card, under the
Input Cards section of mythtv-setup, I specified the audio device as
/dev/dsp1 which corresponds to cx88_alsa.<br>

Apart from the sound issue - were you able to get the HD5500 to scan in
both NTSC and QAM-256 channels?
I can only seem to get the QAM-256 streams on the DVB side...it won't scan
in the NTSC channels either as DVB or V4L.
Mike - you say you have both sets of channels...how do you have it
configured in Mythtv-setup to do this...?
Thanks...

To everyone who has successfully configured the analog tuner on one of
these cards, how is your sound? Do you have sound issues at all?<br>
<br>
For me, I had to apply a patch to cx88_alsa to make the card release
the audio device before changing channels. Otherwise, I could tune to
an analog channel, but then if I tuned to a second analog channel the
sound would cut out. But, now that I have sound, I'm getting a lot of
annoying pops in the sound stream, even though I've raised the quality
of the default recording profile quite a bit.<br>
<br>
Has anyone experienced this before? Is the NTSC tuner in this card
simply unreliable? The video is quite poor too but I've never used an
analog tuner either.<br>

How did you configure the analog channels? Do you have two video
sources (one for digital and one for analog) or just one?<br>

<pre wrap="">Jesse,
I am using 2 pcHDTV 5500, but have only wired up the DVB drivers--these
are sufficient for both NTSC and ATSC.
Watching liveTV works great for me, just an fyi if you are working cable
feeds though--I'm having problems with recording from cable (comcast
QAM256)--in my case the HD channels (at least) are not set up correctly
for recording (missing mplex entry in the myth db).
Mike

Hi,
I've just installed a pcHDTV 5500 into my Myth box and am having major
problems getting NTSC channels to work. There are some problems with
HDTV also but first I want to get these channels working.
I've downloaded and installed the drivers from the pcHDTV website, they
are the v4l-dvb modules and they are now loaded although they seem to be
no different than the ones I got with my distro (Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy). In
mythtv-setup I select the input card as a DVB tuner and I setup my video
sources (one lineup for digital cable, one for analog cable).
This card displays four input connections: DVB, Television, Svideo and
Composite (the last three are /dev/video0). I connect Television to the
analog cable lineup and hit "Fetch channels from listings." I've read in
a couple places that this is how you pickup NTSC channels.
Sounds good. I quit, not without a message saying that Card 0 has as
it's beginning channel 47 which does not exist (even though I set it to
10 in the input connections page). So, after pulling the listings, I go
to mythfrontend and hit Watch TV, see the HUD come up for Channel 10 and
then....hard freeze. Total lockup.
When I try 'tvtime -d /dev/video0' I get a permission denied error until
I sudo, then it gets the TV perfectly (as perfect as analog channels can
be). Any ideas here? This is maddening! What could Myth possibly be
doing to cause a hard freeze!?
Thanks in advance for any ideas,
Jesse.
