Analog channels don't have sub-channels, embedded data services, PIDs and such that NEED to be scanned-for and properly detected before you can watch them... Just look through the docs for "mplayer tv://" to find out how to use it to display analog TV signals. Best to start at channel 2, and use the h/j keys to go channel up/down and just manually note which channels you get, and which you don't. > I forgot to mention that I am using a Hauppauge HVR 1600 tuner card. > It has digital and analog inputs. Does this help? Not to me. You can certainly look up whether Linux has support for analog tuning with that card, if you were so inclined, but I doubt anyone here will do it for you. This isn't the Linux kernel support list after all. But I will offer a small tip: To find out whether analg TV support is currently enabled on your system, just look in /dev for entries like /dev/vid* or perhaps /dev/v4l*. If they exist, you can very likely use your card to tune analog TV. Not that it matters much, since analog is being shut-off most everywhere in just 2 month's time. -- Don't trust me!
