No matter what I try I either get a screwed up picture  (looks green and
purple)
or I get tvtime with good picture and NO audio.

My provider says it is Digital Cable
But I can only get a signal on the middle of the THREE input connectors
which is all analog

I can't get scan or w_scan to find any channels thus can not create a
channels.conf file

Where did you get the v4l-dvb source and what was your steps
Anything you can remember that may help would be great
Thanks

Barry
