Hi Phil...

This is perfectly normal on first time use! as what Me TV is asking for
is, do you want to use a supplied channel data from dvb-apps or use a
channel.conf file. As this is a fresh install you will most likely not
have the latter! so on the top box that says 'none' click on this and it
will present you with a selection of pre-set country files, just select
the one that best suits your area, and Me TV will commence a scan of
those channels. Once this is done you will then get another section
asking to confirm the scaned channels... edit if necessary, then you are
good to go!

Ok, now I see, this is not a Me TV question. This is a question about how you install software under Ubuntu. There are many ways but this is not the best place to ask this question.

Here's one way, open up a terminal and type `sudo apt-get install dvb-apps` and follow the prompts.

Another way is to use an application called 'synaptic', look for it in under the Administration menu.
