I'm trying to get MythTV up and running, and after a number of problems, I think I'm nearly there.
I'm using MythTV 0.18+ out of CVS from about a week ago (although I'm happy to upgrade if it will help) on an i386 with basically FC2, but I've added all the prerequisite RPMs and I've got the 2.6.11+ kraxel1 patches.
I'm using a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T card with the cx88-dvb module. xawtv displays video, but pops up a box saying "can't play audio
stream". It's not clear if it can't tune it, or simply can't find the
audio card. Since I didn't want to use xawtv, but mythtv, I just moved
on.
With MythTV, I can't scan channels. I've been able to set up the card, and it seems to recognize it. When I run mythtv-setup and attempt to automatically tune in the channels, it doesn't work. I get three bars telling me I have signal strength of 16% and SNR of 75%, which doesn't sound good, but as I say, it's enough for xawtv to tune in all the stations.
I downloaded dvbsnoop which I'd seen referred to in a couple of other posts. After a long wait, I got output from it once, but lost it in that window. Since then, I can't get any output from it at all. I was running it as:
# dvbsnoop -n 1 600
where 600 is the video pid of BBC ONE.
For reference, I am tuning to Winter Hill, generally using the channel frequency 754166670. This works for xawtv and dvbtune.
# dvbtune -f 754166670 gives this output: Using DVB card "Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T" tuning DVB-T (in United Kingdom) to 754166670 Hz polling.... Getting frontend event FE_STATUS: polling.... Getting frontend event FE_STATUS: FE_HAS_SIGNAL polling....

Any help appreciated ...

Just a short note to say that I have had similar issues with MythTv CVS 2005-04-22. I cannot offer a direct solution but somehow I got around it (not sure how ...). It may be I tuned manually using dvbscan (aborted when finding PID's on appropriate frequency), then used mythth-setup to scan the channels. It may be that the current version of MythTv does not tune to the frequency you enter in the frequency box ...
