@Mario: sorry to add confusion, that's the last thing I want to do. Here's a summation of my current status:

- natty / 11.04 upgraded from a 10.10 fresh install, through normal channels
- post-upgrade, I added mythbuntu repos, and so I have latest at the time of writing (0.24.0+fixes.20110503)
- in mythtv-setup when setting up this capture card, it shows me this: "ERROR, Compile with V4L support to query audio inputs"
- scheduled recordings actually do record audio (through stereo RCA's) and video (through component) just fine (despite seeing this ERROR in mythtv-setup)
- live tv is not reliable. If I watch live tv, it starts on directv channel 1 for me. when I change the channel through myth, it seems to fail, but changing through the directv box works fine.

Now, with that all said... if I can assume that the problem with Live TV is unrelated (channel change script or something?) I'm starting to realize that the only problem is that the UI indicates that there's an error, because of the big "ERROR, Compile with..." message, when in fact - there perhaps is no real error? (Or, perhaps this is causing my Live TV issues, I don't know... will have to dig more on that outside of this bug report). The only thing that would indicate it is this in the backend log:

Two entries after "Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV" is...
2011-05-07 17.12:05.131 format_to_mode() does not recognize V4L1

So, is this really a separate issue regarding the UI in myth-setup?

Also, thanks so much for all your work.
