Any suggestions as to what to look for or where to go for help?

Looking at dmesg, the card is recognized, the firmware is in /lib/firmware, but no messages indicating it is being shipped to the card.

When I try to scan for channels with either metv or w_scan, it goes through the motions, but finds no channels. The light on the card does not come on.

I sort of prefer it this way, because it's really bright and I find it annoying when watching tv in a dark room, but just keep in mind, that no light doesn't indicate a failure.

I am happy to report that this setup works great with ATSC channels. Although it is loading the firmware properly when mythtv tries to tune a channel, I don't see anything come up in dmesg either. I get warnings in dmesg on boot, but that doesn't really mean it's failing. I have been able to tune into ATSC channels with the drivers from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb for the past few months with i386. Before that, I would get very similar messages in dmesg to what I do now, but mythtv could not scan or tune any channels. If you have any more questions about what I had to do to get this working, I'd be glad to answer them. By the way, is there any support for the analog mode or s-video input?
