I have the save setup and same driver.  But once I add an analog
source I simply cannot watch TV any more.  Mythbackend complains about
no PIDS set.  Don't know what I do wrong.  (I do set up the starting
channel).

Also I don't see an option to choose TV format on the video source
basis.  I can only choose a default format, and modify it for each
individual channel.  It's kind of tedious.

I don't have to use different zip code to add a line-up in zap2it. 
Here it gives 4 line-ups for my zip code, broadcasting, cable, digital
cable, and satellite.
