My card shows similar dmesg and similar activity (no lights come on, scans take a long time under mythtv) Iget 6 or 7 channels in Wintv V6 in windows and 4 in MCE in windows. I do need to get my antenna up higher, but I should be able to get the same channels in mythtv as I can under windows.
I will try a fake channels.conf if someone can post one so I can get an idea what it should look like.
