I hope you receive the stuff below with a grain of appreciation. I've |
| 2 |
asked for help on the mythtv forum, but have yet to get it. |

I recently acquired a new Hauppauge WinTV 1600 and have successfully |
| 6 |
gotten the analog side working with the analog channels (1-99). That |
| 7 |
is, I can plug my (Comcast) cable from the wall to the tuner card's |
| 8 |
analog input and get the basic cable channels. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
However, the whole reason for getting tv tuner card and mythtv was to |
| 11 |
record japanTV, which is beyond channel 99 and requires a set top box |
| 12 |
to watch it on the TV. I've read the installation instructions for the |
| 13 |
ATSC input of the card but I'm having problems and am aware of the IR |
| 14 |
blaster option. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I suppose the main problem . . . the one causing the other problems |
| 17 |
like not getting any channels is that mythtv is not "seeing" my card. |
| 18 |
When I go to configure the capture card there is not DVB DTV card type |
| 19 |
offered, which suggests to me that card is not being "seen." |

| 21 |
Suggestions? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I have posted below some various info, but before that I wan to ask |
| 24 |
one more thing, if all were fine, should it be the case that I plug |
| 25 |
the cable from the wall to the ATSC input (i.e., not through the set |
| 26 |
top box) and it just work (as if it were the set top box)? |
| 27 |

Thanks for your time. |
