I haven't read the other replies yet (maybe I should have!) but I/we're 
thinking the problem with MythTV isn't the driver but the tuner card.  
Which one are you using?  (lsusb should do.)  Seems like it was an 
HVR-150 and this is an analog tuner. ...Oops; PVR-150 -- no wonder I 
couldn't find! .. Yup: NTSC, so the old analog.  You need ATSC, digital

Darn: there wasn't a channel 6 in Chicago (unless one goes by this 
blooper: 
http://www.ftvlive.com/todays-news/2016/6/1/huh-channel-6-in-chicago ).  
Was going to give an example of what happens when tuners receive the 
wrong signal type, anyway, the tuner doesn't know what to do and passes 
on essentially garbage, which the next circuit down the line doesn't 
know what to do so the end result is no channels.

...Ah!  Looking at Steve's message mentions the Air2PC v2 Tuner"; now I 
remember!  Per this site ( 
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TechniSat_Air2PC-ATSC-USB  ) both 
versions are ATSC (digital).  Ah!  scroll down to the Firmware section: 
an upgrade needs to be done!  Uhhh, watch which revision you have (there 
are two versions with the same name).   Hopefully this will fix your 
problem.

Barry
