MythTV ??? Which tuner?

[Dennis Ruzeski]

No-- It's not with myth or the mpeg encoder- It's strictly a tuner problem (Just happens to be on the same card as the mpeg encoder..)

I found something on the ivtv driver site that says if it's a hauppauge card then insmod tveeprom will dump info into dmesg about the tuner.  

That plus a better understanding of reading the tuner chips should be enough to get me rolling..

Thanks, 
Dennis

I'm not sure where along in the troubleshooting process you are, but I've
gathered the problem isn't with myth.

Have you tried using the card with no myth involved? I know you can't use
xawtv since it's a hardware encoder, but there is a way to test it. Of
course I can't remember what that is at the moment, but it may have just
been cat-ting the /dev/videoX device into a file and then playing the file
with a mpegdecoder.
