[mythtv-users] Snow with PVR-250

[Steven Cruysberghs]

Maybe you mean input 4?
Input 4 is the tuner (where other numbers are composite and s-video in)
but you have to set a channel using the ptune.pl script. And of course
you have to connect you tv-signal cable. 

I think you should read the ivtv FAQ.
