Hi,
No where near my mythtv box at the moment, but what I have been doing
is seeing as the grab for schedules works, I have been using the
command:
# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0
This has allowed me to see what is an active channel and the frequency
it is on (its reported in the terminal when changing channel). I then
(With the use of a TV find the actual channel i.e BBC1 ) edit the
channel settings in mythtvsetup and put the frequency code in the field
on page 2 (i think, its the first field on the page anyways)
This then allows me to see the schedule and channel within
mythfrontend.
I hope that is of help, but recently, ptune-ui.pl has given up the
ghost, even though I can still watch TV with MythTV?
Onwards and downwards.
Graham.
