My TV-card Pinnacle PCTV 310i seems to be detected but no channels can be found in Mythbuntu 8.10.

When using Ubuntu 7.10 with MythTV I had it working after adding firmwares using get_dvb_firmware. It worked perfectly except for a few channels which sent ac3 sound. I couldn't get any sound at all from those channels.

I tried to make a clean install with Mythbuntu 8.10. I have read that there should be better support for ac3 sound in that release.
It seemed like Mythbuntu 8.10 didn't need any additional firmware for my TV card so I tried to set everything up directly. Everything went well until I was about to scan for channels. No channels were found.
I tried to add the firmwares I had in previous installation but with no luck.

Because I already have made a clean install, I tried to install Ubuntu 7.10 again, adding the firmwares and install MythTV. Everything worked again.

Does anybody know what to do to get the Pinnacle PCTV 310i working in 8.10?

The problem is now solved. I had to have longer search times to get any channels in Mythbuntu 8.04 compared to Ubuntu 7.10.

I have also a Pinnacle PCTV 310i installed on my computer.
I installed TVtime and managed to get two channels out of 4 but no sound
You seem to have it working, can you help me, please?
I have Ubuntu 8.10
