I didn't say I don't know what I am doing.  Where did you get that idea D?

I just bactracked to 9.1 and have found that my program guide still
fails to display.  I am beginning to think that it started failing with
9.0 or 9.1 and that I just didn't notice until now.

I updated to the latest CVS based on the new features described on the
mythtv home page.  It made it sound like it was a safe time to install.

I really don't appreciate people with their nose stuck in the air.  I am
likely more capable with Linux than average, but we can't all be experts
on the workings of every program, and I have never understood that this
was a prerequisite to using CVS source.  I have been using CVS up to the
point 9.1 came out with no problems.

Particularly when there is little (if any) documentation regarding the
design or database structure...  I am just asking where I might start
looking.

Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.

BTW, I am also now receiving a screen-fill of "open: No such file or
directory" messages as well, but it does not prevent LiveTV from
working.

Thanks,
Dick
