Hi, I've read the stickies and searched around for several hours for a solution to this...
From the mythbuntu website I added to a Ubuntu installation. My tuner is a Pinnacle Systems PCTV HD Card (800i).
The problem I am having is in getting a guide to work. I'm not willing to pay for guide service, so I am trying to get the directv guide to work. I'll post output for both tv_grab_na_dtv --configure and for what occurs during the backend setup.
My first try was setting up the tuner card for analog, selecting North America directv as my guide, and the terminal shows the following:
2009-02-10 07:23:17.174 Running tv_find_grabbers.
2009-02-10 07:24:23.897 Please wait while MythTV retrieves the list of available channels
Which is your time zone?
Time Zone:
0: Eastern
1: Central
2: Mountain
3: Pacific
4: Alaska
5: Hawaii
Select one: [0,1,2,3,4,5 (default=0)] 0
Enter your zip code to include local channels.
Zip Code: [] #####
Select the channels that you want to receive data for.
The terminal then stops updating information. I then go into input connections and try to fetch channels from listing source (other posts have recommended this course of action). The terminal gives the following output:

So it seems that the tv_grab program isn't communicating with what mythtv is finding for my channels. I don't know what else to try, so any input is very much appreciated.

And finally the result of a few operations with the tv grabber program:
s@stevens:~$ tv_grab_na_dtv --list-channels

Which is your time zone?

Enter your zip code to include local channels.
Zip Code: [] #####
Select the channels that you want to receive data for.
and the program returns to prompt there, it never asks for channels.
So it seems that the tv_grab program isn't communicating with what mythtv is finding for my channels. I don't know what else to try, so any input is very much appreciated.
