Yes, I can confirm that on ivtv 1.0.0 the video is tuned to a cable channel coming in on the coax cable. It is clearly a cable channel as it only exists on the cable system. It's the local cable weather not available over the air. I am currently listening to the radio tuned to a local over the air radio station. It is a great way to pipe the radio audio from a system elsewhere in the house to a remote TV completely eliminating the need for a separate radio in that room. The card being used is indeed a PVR-500 configured as normally available tuners for mythtv use. I have not actually tried this on the PVR-350 that is physically in the system as it is dedicated for radio recordings at the moment. The way it's being done is to tune the desired channel in mythtv (0.21-fixes if it matters) and then tune the radio with "ivtv-radio -d /dev/radioX -j -g -f <station>" on the slave backend system that houses the cards. My vision is to provide this functionality completely within mythtv. Pausing and skip back/forward works in the current mythtv. Changing radio stations on the command line works fine. I also have the thought that the radio station could be tuned externally from mythtv so it could be done by a separate small device. I can confirm this no longer works with the ivtv 1.1.0 included in the 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 and 2.6.24.3-34.fc8 kernels. That's the reason for me poking around on the ivtv-users mailing list.
