I have a Leadtek USB Dongle Gold that I can't get mythtv-setup to find
any channels on.

lsusb shows:
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 0413:6029 Leadtek Research, Inc. 

If I run 'scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/au-Melbourne' if has no
problems finding the channels that should appear.

For example:

$ scandvb /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/au-Melbourne 
scanning /usr/share/dvb-apps/dvb-t/au-Melbourne
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'

However, when I try scanning for channels in mythtv-setup it get
nothing.

I've tried setting bigger values for Signal Timeout and Tuning Timeout
in Capture Card Setup, but this doesn't seem to improve anything, it
just takes longer to run the scan.

Any suggestions?
