Nick,
I am pretty sure about the second part - I can watch TV in gmplayer (I 
meant to mention that but forgot, sorry ;-).

As far the first part - set up channel numbers/frequencies, I think you 
misunderstood my problem.. or rather I wasn't clear in explaining it. 
It's not that I can't switch channels on Tuner0; the problem is that I 
can't get MythTV to receive input from Tuner0 input. Changing inputs on 
the card (by pressing "C" only goes from Composite 0 to SVideo 0 and 
back). I also noticed one other peculiar thing. If I set up ptune-ui.pl 
to Tuner0 and then start MythTV, I get the input! However, the line says 
Composite 0. Apparently, MythTV doesn't do anything with the input 
source; but for wahtever reason, it doesn't know about Tuner0 being a 
possible source. Pressing C at that moment goes back to SVideo and 
(real) Composite - obviously, with no signal now!

And speaking of channel switching - I can't switch channels in MythTV, 
either (but it isn't surprising, since apparently MythTV "thinks" that 
it is Composite, and sends "switch channel" signal to the wrong input). 
And I can switch channels on ptune-ui.

Thanks much
Felix
