[mythtv-users] scheduled recordings with DVB-S

Wed Aug 20 10:29:34 UTC 2014

I forgot to say... For all experiments, every time I began from the
scratch: fresh installation of the OS and MySQL and new compilation of
mythtv.

For the first time, I installed the OS on the usb-stick. And mount the HDD
as a volume for home directories. Then, thought have came in my mind that
it is USB stick was the reason. I have made the backup of the system
partition and formated it. No change. And all next experiments were running
from the HDD.

I don't know, how to understand where is the problem hidden. Is it in the
adapter-driver or in the app, mythtv-mysql, logic.

OK. Thank you, Mark, for your help.
