That's a PVR150 card right? I'd take it back and get a replacement
if you can. It's what I did with my first one.
My first card did exactly the same thing once I realised that's what
it was doing. It took many hours to figure that out, I just thought
I had some sort of software issues, since everything (linux/mythtv)
was new to me, and I couldn't get any signals when I tuned the card
to what it should be.
In the end I took the card back and got a replacement since it was
going to cause too many issues. If you add another card to the box
which works as it should, you'll have to define a whole new source
with different channels since they will both have different frequency
IDs for the same channel. Easier to get a card that works as it
should.
