Your comments about "snow" were very confusing there,<br>> because "snow" happens only with analog TV, not DTV ("HD").<br>> <br>> > Now, do you have any actual things to *help* debug what is setup wrong?<br>> <br>> Yes. See above.<br>> Also, configure the capture device as "DVB", not whatever type<br>> of analog setting you've currently got in mythtv-setup.<br>> <br>> Also note Devin's comment about ensuring the firmware file exists.<br>> <br>> Cheers<br><br>The device *is* and configured as a DVB. The channel scan is being done on ATSC channels (and it is finding the locals channels because the station IDs are what I expect them to be) The snow was caused by having the analog tuner and digital assigned in MythTV. Once I removed the analog now all I get is a blank screen on watch TV. I verified that the scan is being done on terrestrial vsb-8 .<br><br>Devin mentioned that my channel frequencies looked to be a cable format but I know for sure that my settings on page are for OTA Digital TV.<br><br>So, again, what else can I look at to debug this?<br><br>-W<br><br> </body>
