Input connections

The input connections page allows you assign any Video Sources to Inputs on your capture sources before. Choose the particular input you will need to assign and press enter.

Again, it's a good idea to provide a name for your Input here. Later on, if you have a tuner not working, it's easier to debug if it says "Digital Cable" in the frontend and then doesn't work. Choose the Video source associated with the input in the "Video source." If you need to use an external channel changer script (firewire, serial, IR), you will need to enter the name of the binary/script that needs to be launched here. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_External_Channel_Changer for more information.

If you are using a static channel listing, fetch channels from your listings source via "Fetch channels from listings source." If you are using something that scans on the fly via EIT or OTA HD, scan for the initial channels by selecting "Scan for channels."

You can assign the priority you wish to have for the card. These enables you to prefer certain tunner cards over others, for instance to prefer DVB-T over DVB-S when both can record the same show. Input groups can also be created to provide a way to mange groups of cards, such as all DVB-T cards and all DVB-S cards.
