Please help.
I have managed to get everything working except changing channels in
mythtv. Which ever channel that xawtv sets the tuner, is the channel
that is recorded when I do a Scheduled Recording in mythtv. Or if I do
not run xawtv before running mythtv and doing a Scheduled Recording, all
I get is static.
Live TV also shows the last channel that xawtv tuned in before running
mythtv. When I try changing channels by doing an up arrow on the
keyboard, mythfrontend freezes.
My setup is:
Redhat 9
Mythtv .91
Xmltv 5.10
Magic TView capture card with a cph05x chip running bttv driver
I have populated the database by doing:
Mythfilldatabase -xawchannels 1 ~/.xawtv
Then I run mythfilldatabase to do a tv_grab_de. (I live in Germany)
It is my understanding that bad channel information in the database can
cause this problem. When I do a mysql:
Select channum from channel;
I get the following output. Is this correct?

I am currently only working with a monitor. When I get everything
working good, then I will connect to a TV.
