[mythtv-users] PLEASE HELP- Two problems with my mythbox mythdora4.0 & Leadtek Winfast DTV2000 H

[doug brann]

Hi Brian and thanks for your prompt response.

You're probably right, but I have no idea how to do what you suggest. It looks to me like the thing just flat can't find the analog channels. Even kdetv finds the channels on the scan, but won't display anything except a blank screen. Even static would be an improvement.

Do you have any thoughts on what I'd need to add to my .lirc file to get xine to recognize my skip-ahead and rewind when playing .avi files?

Thanks again,

-Doug

I'm not familiar with that card, but other cards with dual personalities
(HD-3000 for example) can only operate in one mode at a time.

Basically you have to pick one or the other. You would have to figure
out some way to unload one set of modules/drivers, load the other. and
then set up the capture cards again.

It's possible this is not true of this card, but I'd check into it.
