So I’ve got the pdHDTV 5500 and a Hauppauge card. After adding them both to mythtvsetup and running mythfilldatabase, I only get programming data for the HD card. Even after dropping the database and starting over configuring only the Hauppauge card, I still only get HD programming info. I searched everywhere for a mythfilldatabase cache or something that may force mythfilldatbase to do such a thing without success. Finally, I log into the Zap2It site and low & behold, all my channels have been disabled but the HD channels. I re-select them all and things appear to be working now.

It appears that after you define your channels and run mythfilldatabase, Zap2It will note the channels you have an remove any you didn’t originally request.

After all the dust settles and you start moving into your new mythtv system, the sound system loads intermittently. I think this is because either the Hauppauge card, the pcHDTV 5500 or both, also have sound hardware and the order they load occasionally switches. The solution is to remove all the sound lines from /etc/modprobe.conf ie:

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1
  || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
  /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1
  || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

… just prefix them with a # sign. Then run Fedora Core 6’s:

system-config-soundcard

Set the default sound card and load order in there and the tool will update /etc/modprobe.conf with the correct values.
