Problems setting up mythtv and tvcapture card
« on: March 01, 2012, 12:15:25 am »
Ok first I did read the following web sites.
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Setting_up_MythTV
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Control_a_TV_or_cable/satellite_box
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Capture_Cards
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2250

To start the first problem I have is when I open up the MythTV setup under computing, the bottom X, keyboard and power icon cover up the configuration interface for MythTV making it difficult to see if I'm hitting back or what ever. If some one can point out how I can fix this that would help with the rest of the problems.

Next problem, I have no channels, Ive done the schedules direct thing, even mythfilldatabase as:
Regular user using sudo

There's no guide data available! Have you run mythfilldatabase?

Can any one point me in the right direction?

Re: Problems setting up mythtv and tvcapture card
« Reply #1 on: March 01, 2012, 08:03:39 pm »
Ok so I do have mythtv setup and can view a few channels.
I still have no guide data, I don't understand why. I followed the directions for setting up mythtv, ran mythfilldatabase as mythtv.
Another problem I have is some channels crash mythtv and I can't view any thing using mythtv until I reload the core.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
