I'm not 100% on this,but I think you need a mpeg file somewhere on your 
system. Then you go to mythtv-setup,then capture cards,then scowl 
through the various cards till you see demo card,or test card...It then 
gives you the option to browse to the mpeg file you chose... This will 
at least get you in the general area..
