Is it really supported under Linux? Most of them use them DSP chip  
with different tuner chips.

The symptom of the tuner not being supported or recognized is what you  
describe.

Sounds like the wrong tuner definition. But it always pays to make  
sure that you actually can receive the broadcasts in your area and  
your hardware works.

No need for one. DVB-T frequencies are fixed. The channels in each  
stream identify themselves, so when you do a scan, when one is found,  
the channels are automaticaly determined.

Guy Scheffer (guysoft at gmail) did the original work of getting  
Mythtv to work with Israel TV.
