[mythtv-users] Strange PVR250/MythTV Problem

Hi Kevin,

Since you have 2 working channels I assume your card is ok - probably just
the channel frequencies ?
The way I set mine up was using a script found here ->
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=185074&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc

You have to adapt it for your frequency table etc. When you run it it will
record lots of ~30 seconds mpeg files which you can then check out to find
working channels. Then you only have to fill in the frequency codes into
your channel database and you should be fine.

cheers,

Patrick
