[mythtv-users] channel switching problem

[Amir Khostevan]

It works perfectly with kdetv, so my video should not be slow. In the 
xorg.conf I use the radeon driver for my ati video card. maybe I should find 
some better drivers for the tv tuner, but the bigger problem is the channel 
switching. Why does not MythTv change the channels? Why do I have to use a 
external script? And where Do I get such a script?
Sorry, I am an absolute rookie on this.
I think I found the startchan and tunechan part in mythsetup(though it is in 
german for me) what do they stand for? I set startchan to 1. Is it right?
