Andy, Thanks for your note. The command line was the culprit. I did not specify the type of ATSC service va the -A parameter. I tested OTA and QAM this morning and I will be sticking with QAM. FWIW I also performed a channel scan in SageTV and have tested a recording this morning. The tuner is now added to my list of available tuners and I will be able to report on issues out of general use. Separately, as I am new to this list is there a protocol for reporting issues such as the mxl500x not being "autoselected" in the config when the cx23418 adapter is selected to compile? Thanks again --bcj _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
