MythTV is not a good troubleshooting tool - too many moving parts, so to speak. Instead, use the basic dvb utilities to create a channels.conf file from the stdout of [dvb]scan and do some basic tests: http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Information http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Testing_your_DVB_device You can then put the channels.conf file into ~/.mplayer/channels.conf and use mplayer to test DTV: (kill the mythbackend and then...) $ mplayer dvb://WJLA-HD -cache 8192 MPlayer SVN-r31628-4.4.4 (C) 2000-2010 MPlayer Team ...

If [dvb]scan can't a decent channels.conf, either the digital tuner drivers need work, or you have signal quality problems. Please check the list of items here, just in case: http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Howto:Improve_signal_quality Unfortunately my only late model HVR-1600 is in Europe with Hans for worldwide analog signal tuning verification. I don't have one in hand at the moment. (Maybe I'll just go buy another one this week).
