First, I want to apologize for the double post the other day. I, for some reason, had forgotten that I'd already posted the day before. Anyway, my situation is much better. I am able to capture japanTV. The thing is that I'm not sure how. Here is what I did. 1) Connected the tuner card's analog side to the cable box/set-top-box. 2) Set the cable box to japanTV (in this case, channel 674) 3) Attempted to gather channels at mythtv-setup, which it did . . . a handful (16,17,18,19, etc). 4) Just to see what channels it claimed to have found, I started recording 1 minute bits of each. 5) To my surprise, tuner card channels 17,18, and 19 captured japanTV with varying degrees of quality (18 being the best). So, for now I feel better because I can put this project down for a while. I guess part of my confusion comes from the fact that I didn't set the tuner channel like I would the TV (channel 3). Although, japanTV seems to be the only thing getting though.
