Ok, so after a month and a half of being here I STILL can't get this working - I have an external tuner, an HVR-950q, installed under ubuntu on my laptop with mythtv installed. Whenever I try to scan for channels, it just hangs after not finding any (of course it only gets through 5-10 channel tune attempts). Has anyone set up mythtv here? Getting this working is totally absurd. Alex
