It's a head scratcher, as well as other variations, I tried deleting
all cards, exiting, rebooting, going into set-up> capture cards,
inputting symlink names, (even though the prompt said"could not get
information on "/dev/dvb/PC800i" or "/dev/dvb/HP1250) and configured
them in input connections. When I tried to watch live TV, channel
numbers for the analog card were white (normal) but channel numbers
for the digital cards were blue (not normal) oddly enough trying to
watch a digital channel resulted in a black screen accompanied with
audio for the program selected. Pardon me for being so thick, this
sounds like it should be real simple, but I can't see what's wrong.
I've even commented out my modeprobe.d/options.conf thinking that
might be interfering.   Daryl
