xawtv can tune channels mythtv cannot

I saw in the archives that some others had experienced
problems where xawtv is able to tune channels on the
television input from an antennae but mythtv cannot.
I couldnt find any solution though, is there one?

I saw some suggestions that maybe bttv couldnt autodetect
my card, so i put an entry for it in /etc/modules.conf
anyway but theres still no joy.

Two issues here:
1) make sure both xawtv and mythTV use the (same) correct grid for the area
you live in
2) some channes use finetuning off the grid, xawtv supports this with a
single keypress, mythst only when using the --manual flag when importing
your channels in myth. And you have to know your finetuning values
yourself, making it rather unusable.

If yuo have a lot of finetuning channels, it is easier for now to import
them from the xawtv settings file.
On www.home.zonnet.nl/erik_nospam.arendse you find more info.
