[mythtv-users] Recording from video source without channels

[Mache Creeger]

Can you explain how to make a dummy channel for SVIDEO when the 
signal comes across as baseband?  I have looked at mythtvsetup and 
they all want you define channels on your video source.  In baseband 
there are no channels.
