Please help,
I had Mythtv setup with separate backend and frontend, running under Mythbuntu 
Hardy 8.10 had 2 nebula DigiTV cards with TDED4 tuners in the backend
During play back of the recording the video would freeze, I therefore decided 
to 
install the backend and frontend on what was the frontend. and upgrade to 
Mythbuntu 10.04, but found when scanning for channels in Mythgbackend setup
the scanner gives "scanning channel xx No Lock for channels 21 to 68  and lists 
the following information for each channel 
channel xx offset 2 -- Timed out, no signal
After channel 68 has been tried the message No channels found appears.
thoulght this may have been resolved in 10.10 so upgraded, deleted the 
partitions on the system disk an installed 10.10, am getting the same results, 
I came across this post and on looking at dmesg the module is bt878
verified by 
sudo modprobe -vr bt878 
and getting message  module busy

tried
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
modprobe -vr bt878
sleep 10
modprobe -v bt878
no change,
then increasing Signal Timeout to 3000ms
Tuning Timeout to 5000ms
and DVB Tuning Delay to 2000 
and ran the scan again with the same result.


the only difference I can see is that the module number is different
bttv: driver version 0.9.17 in Hardy
bttv: driver version 0.9.18
