If you are using 0.18.1, it is greyed out because that version didn't support scanning for V4L sources of any kind. SVN supports scanning Analog and Digital V4L sources, as well as DVB sources.

My Input Connections > assigns the Capture Device (card) and Input to the Video Source (which > is "terrestrial" as cited above) What he means is, did you define the card as a "pcHDTV HD-2000/3000" card or "DVB" card. The former only works with the Digial V4L pcHDTV drivers, and the latter only works with the DVB DTV drivers. In SVN the former has been renamed to specify that it only applies with the V4L drivers. When 0.18 was being developed the HD-3000 DVB drivers were new and still a bit broken. Also the digital V4L pcHDTV support in 0.18.1 does not support the pcHDTV 2.0 drivers during setup, only 1.4 and earlier; you need SVN to setup using the digital pcHDTV 2.0 V4L drivers. > > Under Channel Editor (part of mythtv-setup) you can scan for channels, > > actually you must scan for them or else MythTV won't work. > hmmm...

This will clear all the channels. In SVN, you can delete the channels on one source as part of the scan. But in 0.18 you must either delete each channel individually (hi-light the channel in the Channel Editor, then press M, then select "Delete" from the menu), or you can delete the channels using the mysql command line tool if you have a basic command of SQL, or delete all channels on all sources during startup. If you are using a pcHDTV card I recommend you upgrade to SVN revision 7674. It will make the setup considerably easier, while avoiding the LiveTV problems in current SVN. If you have the DVB drivers installed create a DVB card, and make sure you click all the buttons in the card setup so everything is initialized properly. Also make sure that you do not assign a source that you have ever added V4L channels to, to a DVB card input. That is just asking for trouble as V4L drivers tune to the visual carrier of a channel and DVB drivers tune to the center frequency of a channel. Also if you change the frequency table used by a digital source, make sure you delete all the channels on that card using the "treatment of existing channels" tab in the scanner. A sizable part of the 0.19 release will be improvements in the setup of and usability of digital cards like the pcHDTV HD-3000. The other part of the release is improved LiveTV functionality which we are working the kinks out of at the moment. -- Daniel
