I'm assuming you mean the setting:
Preset tuner to channel
Leave this blank unless you have an external tuner that is connected to
the tuner input of your card. If so, you will need to specify the preset
channel for the signal (normally 3 or 4).
(otherwise, channel 3 isn't set where it should be ;). If so, there was
a discussion on the -users list where a couple of people reported it was
not working for them in 0.19.

Unfortunately, though, I haven't had a chance to look at it, yet. Out
of curiosity, though, what do you get when you run:
mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg -e 'select * from cardinput\G'
(If it's too big, feel free to e-mail me directly--with the same subject
on the message.)
Thanks,
