I'm looking for something other than MythTV, I didn't find it suitable for my desktop. It's more meant for a PVR style set top box I think. I want something to use on my computer not a TV set.
When I try to search for channels. Does it work with the PVR 350? If so, what am I doing wrong?
I can't see why any of them would not work with that card what command are you using to start the program(s). Also have you installled scantv and tried to use it to scan for the channels?
scanning channel list us-bcast...
2 ( 55.25 MHz): no station
3 ( 61.25 MHz): no station
4 ( 67.25 MHz): no station
5 ( 77.25 MHz): no station
6 ( 83.25 MHz): no station
7 (175.25 MHz): no station
8 (181.25 MHz): no station
9 (187.25 MHz): no station
etc. It doesn't find any stations. I think I'm on us-bcast, that's antenna right? Also, when I run KPlayer and play /dev/video0, channel 4 comes in, so I know its working.

The us-bcast would be an antenna, is that how you are setup with only an antenna coming into the back of the card. I am asking this because most Cable/Sat boxes have the option to choose channel 3 or 4 for the output and if you are only getting the 4 then try changing the channel on the receiver (Cable/Sat box up/down channel not the set one with the jumper) and see if you get the others.
