Thanks Cedric - it looks like mythbackend started automatically, but did
not quite start right. When I killed all myth processes and manually
started mythbackend it worked okay.
My biggest problem now lies with an incorrect tuner setting on my new
PVR-350. (it's not tuner type 2 or 5 that I can tell - getting that
"colors not quite right, and actualy channel watched = channel # -1"
problem right now. Fighting through that at the moment. That's more an
IVTV problem though, so I'll bug those folks next. ;)
Thanks,
- Dave
