US OTA broadcast cards are DVB cards to Linux. You can use the 'scan'<br>
program from the dvb-utils package to see what channels your card is<br>
seeing. I don't know about the particular card you have, but if it has<br>
an analog side (for NTSC or cable) then it may get its own /dev/videoX.<br>
The OTA digital side should be under /dev/dvb/dapaterX.<br>
<br>

</blockquote></div><br></div></div><div>Mike,</div><div><br></div><div>This card currently only has the DVB side working, so no /dev/videoX device is created (yet). The dvb side will show up as /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 which should be used to tune. As mentioned above, you will need to scan for channels first using the dvb-utils package. If your kernel recognizes it, you should be able to add it to myth as a DVB card, preform the scan (note: the signal strength will not show up but you will get channel locks) and then test on the TV. </div>

</blockquote><div><br><br>Thanks for the replies. I'm further along but still no HD picture.<br><br>So I ran the scan from within mythtv.<br><br> It picks up the channels I want and they show up in the TV listings with proper names but no programs are listed even after running mythfilldatabase. If I try to switch inputs I get a black screen. If I try switching to one of the channels..for example here in Denver the scan picked up the local Fox affiliate as channel 311. If I hit 311 on the remote I get a screen full of snow. If I switch inputs and type 311 on keyboard I get nothing.<br>
<br>from the scan it seems the tuner sees the channel I just don't know how to switch to it or to get the listings populated.<br><br>ANy guidance would be greatly appreciated.<br><br>Thanks again!<br>Mike<br><br> <br>
