G'day
First many apologies in advance if this has been covered or is posted in the wrong section of the fourm.
Preamble:
I bought a Hauppauge WinTv PVR-250 yesterday after much looking and debating and re-watching an episode of "Systm" on revision3.com. I've been using linux (except for some games and school) for the last 2 or 3 years and swithched to (K)Ubuntu just before 7.04 was released.
The Situation:
MythTV is installed and plays DVD's so I assume its working. I've been using this install for at least 4 months (upgraded the hdd in March-ish, and reinstalled). kdetv also does not seem to capture video.
The card worked (bought it used from a Windows user, he showed me it running on XP)
I have been racking my brain for the better part of the last 24 hours, and reading a massive number of posts regarding the wintv 250, ubuntu, ivtv, and mythtv and making all them play nice.
The Problem:
I can't seem to get the Hauppauge WinTv PVR-250 capture card to capture anything. Just static and it only detects four channels.
So, I have a capture card that is supposed to work, software that is supposed to get along with the card, and an OS that is supposed to provide support for the card and mythtv.
I have a call in with my local cable company to verify that I am using the correct Channel Frequency Table. The cable in the house works (verified on the TV)
What am I missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
More Info:
AMD 3200+, 2gb RAM, 150gb SATA HDD, Nvidia TI-4200, Hauppauge WinTv PVR-250, (k)Ubuntu 7.04, MythTV 0.20
I'm in Canada, so the cable should be NTSC, it's just normal cable from Rogers, not set top box or anything, just an ol' fashion coax cable.

Please let me know anything I can add to help narrow down the problem. I hope someone has knowlage that they can share with me to fix this problem. Nothing I've come across has seemed to do the trick.
Looking forward to your thoughts,
