The distribution I use is Knoppmyth. I don't use a special antenna - an
old set of rabbit ears works fine for me. The pcHDTV site has utilities
for download that will scan channels and show signal strength (dtvscan
and dtvsignal I believe). Try those out to see if you are receiving.
There is also the dvb-utils package, which does the same kind of stuff.
They recommend using the DVB drivers for the HD-3000, so you run dtvscan
something like
#dtvscan -dvb 0
In myth-setup when specifying the capture card, specify DVB, not the one
that says HD2000/HD3000.
