Hey

Anyone else working with pchdtv?

I set up mythtv on dapper:

Capture cards
 "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)"
 (detects oren or51132 vsb/qam frontend subtype ats if backend is not
running)

Video sources
 zip2it
 North America (DataDirect)
 Data direct lineup: Comcast-cabledigital-digital rebuild-84003-u
 channel frequency table: default

Input connections
 [DVB:0] (dvbinput) -> zip2it
 scan for channels
  freq table: cable
  atsc mod: cable (qam 128)

Scans never seem to find anything, but I can at least use tvtime to
watch analog cable and I did manage to capture a little PBS hdtv a while
back using some channel scanner thing that is not part of mythtv.

When I choose to watch live tv from mythtvfrontend, the screen flashes
and goes back to the menu. I can choose to record things but after
they've aired, trying to watch anything shows the error "the file for
this recording cannot be found"

Am I doing anything obviously wrong?

Brad
