<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p> I have a problem - or rather my mythtv set-up has a problem, it cannot receive 2 of the 6 mux's in the UK.<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p> I and running Mythtv 0.22 and the video cards are KWORLD /VStream XPert DVB-T cards (Zarlink MT352)<br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p> So here's the information, I have two machines that have the same model of DVB-T cards in them, one machine has Mythtv installed the other has not (as its new hardware waiting for mythtv installation). On the mythtv installed machine, it cannot receive BBC4 on it via mythtv, it gives LMs - Partial lock when trying to tune to that station. <br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p> On the new machine I decided to check to see if the problem was the same on that, but this time via vlc, to my surprise I could get BBC4, so back to the original Mythtv machine and I installed vlc there also, and now I could get BBC 4 correctly, but I still could not get BBC4 via mythtv. Each of vlc and mythtv are tuned to the same mux frequency, so my question is, is Mythtv more picky in what it will display, or is vlc more lackadaisical in its criteria for display.<br>

<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0;"><br></p> I did read somewhere that on some digital cards there is a option for switching on an on-board pre-amp for the signal, but I have no information about this for this card.<br>
