Then you have managed to try almost every option but the one that
actually matters. All of those input types are for analog devices. You
have a digital tuner. Hence, you use the "DVB DTV capture card
(v3.x)". Assuming your tuner drivers are installed properly, MythTV
will autodetect the card as /dev/dvb/adapter0, at which point you can
bind your video source to your tuner input, and scan for channels.
Thank you. That gets me further.
Defining the Capture Card I get it assigned to /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0. This informs me that the "Frontend ID" is "Auvitek AU8522 QAM/Subtype: ATSC", whatever that means. At least when I selected the other options they identified that I was attached to the Hauppage HVR-950Q.
In "Input Connections" I select my video source, although I have no idea why I am doing that since all I want to do is timed recordings. Then I tab down to "Scan for channels" which is now enabled. However scan for channels is unable to find any signals on any channels, even though when I use the stick through WinTV it finds several.
