Post subject:  Channels off by one

I just installed MythTV using an ATI TV Wonder card. I have digital cable from Comcast, but I have my MythTV box connected directly to the wall jack, so it doesn't get the digital channels (not a problem). I configured Zap2IT to get the basic cable channels, but when I browse in Myth, all of the numbers are off by one. For example: CNN is really on channel 26, but on Myth it's on 27, even though the guide says 26. How can I correct this?

Thank you
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think the card is being misidentified. Here is the relevent dmesg output:
Code:

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again

well as far as I know comcast is a US company, and does not provide PAL signal anywhere, yet your card is being set to a PAL tuner type, so my guess is that yes the card is being detected wrong. Of course if you do live in PAL land then ignore this comment.

I'm sorry, I didn't notice that it was being detected as PAL... How can I change that? I am in the US and it should be using NTSC. I've tried modifying modules.conf as http://www.linuxlogin.com/linux/ati_tv.php suggests but it didn't seem to do anything. Thanks again
Mark

the file you need to modify is /etc/mythtv/modules/bttv
modules.conf doesn't do anything on the 2.6 series kernels like knoppmyth R5?? has.
