[mythtv-users] mythsetup does not allow me to choose the capture card type

[Andrew Kuan]

Bump.

Can anyone at least describe what mythsetup offers them as card types when
adding a capture card? Like I mentioned below, all I see is v4l and not MPEG
as the card type. I can't imagine this is the case for everyone as my
workaround involved tweaking the mysql database directly.
