First, thanx for the responce Greg.

Actually, I have Over the Air Digital ATSC (in the States, pulling from a
Digital Antenna). And the tuner card is actually working as I am able to pull
up a picture using mplayer /dev/video2 .  The tuner card/driver (which is the
cx88-atsc driver) seems to be working fine.  The issue 'appears' to be
something myth related in this kernel/driver configuration.  Otherwise I don't
know why I can view  TV from mplayer accessing this tuner card ( I just have
to change channels by issuing a 'dtvsignal /dev/video2 <channel number>'
command).  Myth seems to see the card, but can't find the inputs (i.e.
Television, Composite, S-Video).  Kinda strange.

By the way, the same box, booting a 2.6.8 kernel, works fine with myth, but I
have to use the HD-3000 1.5 drivers to compile on this kernel.
