[mythtv-users] Tuner type for Pixelview BT878P+?

[Jay Camp]

I'm not using btaudio.  I just loaded tvmixer and tvaudio (if I recall
correctly).  I have the output on the tuner card directly connected to my
speakers just to see if I was getting any sound of my tuner card to begin
with, to rule out any misconfigurations in my sound card.  Shouldn't this
work?
