[mythtv] Hello

[James D. Bearden]

Hello all, 

I am in the process of installing MythTV 0.7 on Mandrake 8.2 using a Matrox 
G200 TV for the video card. So far so good, last night I managed to compile 
before going to bed. Tonight I might even get to run it! ;-) 

Anyway, my first question: The webpage mentions support for using MJPEG 
tools for compression and playback, but I can't find anything in the 
documentation on how to do it. settings.txt references rtjpeg and mpeg, so 
should I use mjpeg? 

Second question: When running mythfilldatabase I get a whole bunch of 
interesting messages about channel icons. I dug up some channel icons and 
updated the channel table to point to them. Is that what I am supposed to 
do? 

Final question: I got twitchy during the channel config and left off a 
channel or four. Is all I have to do is insert a row into the channel table?
