Do you have the default input set to "Tuner 0" on the Capture Card
screen under Setup for your PVR 250?

It might help if you share your current settings for the card.

I just installed MythTV today, and I'm running RedHat 9.0 and MythTV
latest CVS version (from this morning)

I can't change channels either. Everything else works fine except that.
I get the error: "QTime::fromString: Parameter out of range."
It pops up a 'overlay' with the time at the top and a empty blue box at
the bottom for a few seconds, then it fades out. Never changes channel.
I've been all thru the archives, and most people fixed this problem by
ensuring that "Tuner 0" was selected from the Caputre Card setup.
I've ensured this. For some reason it said "Televison" when I first went
into it.
So I changed it to Tuner 0 but no help.
I checked the database, doing a select * from capturecards; or whatever,
and it indeed says Tuner 0 in the database so it's surely set.

Anyone else out there with PVR 250's having trouble changing channels
with the latest CVS source?

Nope, works fine here.

It'd help to see a dump of the capturecard, channel, cardinput, and a few
entries of your program tables from the mysql db.
