[mythtv-users] Error message: "The tuner should have locked..."

[Asmo Koskinen]

Dear List,

I have sort of rehearsal for reality environment:

Ubuntu 7.10, HP nc6120 and Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle


I can use Kaffeine and MPlayer, but not MythTV. I have installed MythTV 
with this howto:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_Backend_Frontend_Desktop


When I launch MythTV Frontend, I got this error message:

"The tuner should have locked..." and no change to watch TV.


Is this problem of cheap device (usb dongle and tiny antenna) or 
something more fatal in my MythTV setup?


I got some search results, but nothing for solutions as far I can see:
