Greetings all

This is my first time dealing with this program. I installed R5D1 without a problem until I came across MythTv configuration. My system is:

Mobo: ASI
Processor: AMD Athlon
Video Card: ATI Radeon 9550
Tuner: PCHDTV HD-5500
Mem: 512 Mb RAM

The PCHDTV card seems to be recognized by the system since it shows the correct options when I choose pcHDTV DTV capture card during the MythTV configuration.

The problems comes when I start scanning the channels, the system is not able to register them.

Timeout Scanning QAM-256 Channel # -- no signal or
Timeout Scanning QAM-256 Channel # -- no tables

I tried QAM-256/64/128 and terrestrial, the results are the same.

I selected then "DVB DTV capture card" and got the same errors.

so... I"m stuck

Any help woud be greatly appreciated

Make sure you have a good UHF antenna because that's what DVB-T uses.
I recommend you look at http://www.antennaweb.org which can show you the direction and distance of all your local OTA (over-the-air) channels.
Another thing you can try is dvbscan, goto /usr/local/share/dvb/dvb-t/ and look for your countries frequency table for use with dvbscan and see if it will pickup anything.
Good luck

Thank you for the reply. I'm connecting the card to my cable feed. The community that I live in, provides std cable to all the houses.

Location:Florida, West Palm Beach

Should I make changes to the config?

I've never used digital cable before but I know that you have to choose one of the QAM-256/64/128 modulations and make sure it's unencrypted.
