** Description changed:

  I have a Pinnacle PCTV USB2 capture device. When I use tvtime-scanner to
  scan for channels I get the following result:
  
  ------------------------
  Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
  Reading configuration from /home/jjmha/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
  Scanning using TV standard PAL.
  Scanning from  44,00 MHz to 958,00 MHz.
  Found a channel at 430,75 MHz (429,25 - 432,25 MHz), adding to channel list.
  Found a channel at 438,75 MHz (437,25 - 440,25 MHz), adding to channel list.
  Found a channel at 446,50 MHz (445,00 - 448,00 MHz), adding to channel list.
  -------------------------

  I also tried using MythTv with the same result. The capture device works
  fine with Windows XP. I lend the capture device to a friend running
  mythbuntu, he experienced the same problem with my capture device (he is
  normally using a Haupauge capture device without problems)
