[mythtv-users] .17 on fc3-only stays on one channel, despite changing!

[Scott Minneman]

Try running the utility I linked to in my last response.  It runs 
through the entire available tuner list, one at a time, so you can check 
if each one works.  It requires xawtv, so emerge that if you haven't 
already.

Speaking of xawtv, what happens when you run that?  Can you change 
channels?  (If you can, and xawtv works correctly, then the problem is 
not your bttv driver, it's Myth)
