I just cannot get the MythTV backend to work. I've configured my
capture card (Hauppauge HVR-2250). This card is listed as supported.
I'm using MythBuntu 12.04 LTS that installs MythTV 0.25.
I've followed the steps recommended by RobotBeard.com "Getting a Haupauge
HVR-2250 to work with MythTV,", including installing his recommended
firmware in /lib/firmware:
v4l-saa7164-1.0.3.fw
v4l-saa7164-1.0.3-3.fw
v4l-saa7164-1.0.2.fw
dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw
When the logs still complained about missing NXP7164-2010-03-10.1.fw, I
found it on the net and put it there too. Rebooted.
Now lspci includes:
03:00.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7164 (rev 81)
04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [ION] (rev
a2)
04:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation High Definition Audio
Controller (rev a1)
It was recommended that I say that this card is DVB. Note that it has
two tuners and RobotBreard.com recommends treating each one as a
separate card, which I have done.
Now when I do:
ls -l lld <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>dev/dvb<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>*/*
I see:

crw-rw----+ 1 root video 212, 7 Jun 15 00:17 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0
On the Capture card setup I specified each half as:
[DVDB: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0] (DVBinput)->(None)
and
[DVDB: /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0] (DVBinput)->(None)
Note that I could not change the input from "None". I suspect that this
may be my problem.
On Input conection I have:
[DVB: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0] (DVBInput)->(None)
and
[DVB: /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0] (DVBInput)->(None)
On Profile Group I have
Name: Profile 1
Card-Type: DVB TV capture card (v3.x)
Yes, I have connected source to input:
capture device: [DVB: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0}
Input: DVInput
Video source: (None) -- NOTE that I cannot change this from None;
could this be related to the problem?
and
capture device: [DVB: /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0}
Input: DVInput
Video source: (None) -- NOTE that I cannot change this from None;
could this be related to the problem?
For the catelog I set up the one for North America with a valid account</pre>

I'm using a 2250 but with 0.24. On the assumption that the setup is
similar, it looks like you may not have defined any video sources
since you only have "(None)" as an option. Like you, I have the
2250 configured in "Capture Card Setup" as a "DVB DTV capture card
(v3.x)" for each of the two adapter numbers (0 & 1). Under
"Video Source Setup," you need to define where you will get your
listing data. Once you do this, you will have a source name that
you can use in the "Input Connections" screen to link to your
capture device. For instance, if you define a video source "OTA"
for over-the-air channels, you could create an input connection like
"[DVB: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0] (DVBInput) -> OTA".<br>
