Thanks for the reply and kind words... My card uses the ivtv driver and that is where allot of the problems occur. I have already confirmed with the driver developers that the card is too new to be supported in 99% of all the tv viewing apps out there for Linux, but they assured me that is only temporary. I have successfully installed MythTV and I can get signal, but cant switch channels. This is also another known issue with the ivtv driver. I will just be patient and see what happens in the future. I'm quite happy using kmplayer /dev/video0 for now :). Thanks!!!
