I'm not familiar with the HVR-950Q specifically, but the scan
button's<br>
enabled/disable state has nothing to do with any of the
settings. It<br>
is dependent upon what type of recorder it is (HDHomerun, IPTV,
Demo<br>
Recorder, etc). The scanning option is only available for
certain<br>
recorder types (it should usually be available for the ones that<br>
actually need to scan). So my first inclination is to think you
might...<br>

<pre wrap="">I am sorry but that response is largely gibberish to me. Are you referring to the Card Type field? How am I supposed to know what to set that to if the authors of the product do not? I have tried:
USB MPEG-4 encoder box
Analog V4L capture card
IVTV MPEG-2 encoder card
H.264 encoder card
And NONE of them enable the channel scan button either in Input Connections or Channel Editor.</pre>

Then you have managed to try almost every option but the one that
actually matters. All of those input types are for analog devices.
You have a digital tuner. Hence, you use the "DVB DTV capture card
(v3.x)". Assuming your tuner drivers are installed properly, MythTV
will autodetect the card as /dev/dvb/adapter0, at which point you
can bind your video source to your tuner input, and scan for
channels.<br>
