I've switched TV provider, and the new one doesn't have the converter.
So, the signal comes straight from coax wire. I set up video source,

linked Tuner0 input connection to this source, however, when I start
front end, I can only alternate (by pressing "C") between SVideo0 and
Composite0. Obviously, both of these aren't showing much.
Has anybody seen this? How can I tell MythTV to get input from Tuner?
Have you set up the channel names and numbers/frequencies for Tuner0?
Without these, MythTV is unable to tune to the channels on Tuner0.
Also, make sure your tuner is working with the correct driver and that
the device exists on the system.
I am pretty sure about the second part - I can watch TV in gmplayer (I
meant to mention that but forgot, sorry ;-).
As far the first part - set up channel numbers/frequencies, I think
you misunderstood my problem..
I don't think he did. ;)
or rather I wasn't clear in explaining it.
I think you were.
It's not that I can't switch channels on Tuner0; the problem is that I
can't get MythTV to receive input from Tuner0 input. Changing inputs
on the card (by pressing "C" only goes from Composite 0 to SVideo 0
and back). I also noticed one other peculiar thing. If I set up
ptune-ui.pl to Tuner0 and then start MythTV, I get the input! However,
the line says Composite 0. Apparently, MythTV doesn't do anything with
the input source; but for wahtever reason, it doesn't know about
Tuner0 being a possible source. Pressing C at that moment goes back to
SVideo and (real) Composite - obviously, with no signal now!
And speaking of channel switching - I can't switch channels in MythTV,
either (but it isn't surprising, since apparently MythTV "thinks" that
it is Composite, and sends "switch channel" signal to the wrong
input). And I can switch channels on ptune-ui.
This--like Nick was trying to say--is the exact behavior you would get
if you had set up your capture card but had not yet set up channels for
the video source. So, how about answering Nick's question? "Have you
set up the channel names and numbers/frequencies for Tuner0?"
