This is what I thought. >The thing to do is run mythtvsetup, make sure that your capture device >is set properly -- for a PVR 350 it should be the MPEG 2 card option >(I think it even says PVR 250).

I could never figure out why >there are so many possibilities when there's only 1 composite, 1 S >video, and 1 Tuner input. I think I have things setup correctly in mythtvsetup. You are correct in that the setting for a 350 is pretty obvious. I will try plugging a composite signal in this afternoon and see if I can see anything that way as a test. >If you run >$mythtv >it will take you straight to live TV viewing and show you whatever the >card is picking up.

I've never had to manually input frequencies. What file in particular should I look at for this ivtv config? Regards Marty
