</div>I believe the OP said they were looking at capturing analogue broadcasts.<br>
<br>
I seem to recall from my PVR350 days that Mythtv doesn't have an<br>
analogue channel scanner (although that may have changed now).<br>
<br>
I tuned my PVR350 in Mythtv by selecting European broadcast<br>
frequencies and manually entering the channel frequencies, which I<br>
found by looking at the channel tuning of my television. The<br>
"frequency" I used was the TV tuning slot number between 1 and 99.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Yes, I know that using a listing grabber before I have the list of usable channel is working backwards. But I have tried testing the card using cat and other tools, eg: mplayer and tvtime. In mpayer, I didn't get any channels but there is a sound where it seems like it is searching for channels ( you know the sound when the radio reception is not that good, yeah, it sounds like that ). But, still I didn't get any TV shows as it was really what I'm looking for. <br>
<br>And really, MythTV does have an analogue signal scanner? Is it true? I've never heard of it though. But if it is, my project is a mess and I don't know how to continue. This is my class project and it has deadline. And I am chasing it. =(<br>
<br>Anyway, the script of my country's listing grabbers that I talked about in the previous post, I can execute it now. No more errors. I've asked the python guys. But I don't know how to slot it in inside MythTV.<br>
<br>And does the sound of 'the not good reception" means that my card actually works?<br><br><br>
