Sorry but your logic is wrong. When you choose the DVB-T option in setup that is
for setting up a DVB-T tuner card in your system which your PVR-250 is not. To
get the output from the Freeview box you will need to take a composite or
S-video out from the box to the vidoe-in on the capture card.

BTS MCE can only handle one program source & thus Programme Guide at a time so
you can either have Analogue or DVB-T via the video-in. Not both.
