Yes. The RF input is hooked up to an 11ft Winegard roof antenna, mounted on a stand behind me, properly oriented according to antennaweb.com for the local stations, and with a UHF pre-amp for good measure. It is inside, but a foot below the reasonably high ceiling, so it doesn't interfere with moving around. With this setup I have succeeded in receiving barely visible analog channels when the Creator is set up as a v4l device using /dev/video0. Yes, the reception sucks, but I want to make sure that it is not something more fundamental before I go to the trouble of mounting the antenna on the roof. Right now, the unit is set up (in mythtv) as a DVB DTV receiver. I have observed that the red led seems to be on when configured in digital mode, as it is right now. > > ... > > If you are mistakenly searching for digital cable channels using the OTA > settings, that would explain a number of the observations you have > described. I'm not sure how to change the cable vs. ota setting. Doesn't the digital tuner determine what it is plugged into? As far as mythtv, it thinks the attached device is a DVB/DTV receiver. Kaffeine has been told to use the us ATSC frequencies, with the results I pointed out earlier.
