So far I have used the autotune and successfully <br>
a) scanned in the transports using the full scan option and then <br>
b) scanned the channels using the existing transport option<br>
c) ran mythfilldatabase<br>
<br>
I can<br>
a) see channel info and guide via mythweb and<br>
b) see guide data in mythfrontend<br>
both of which suggest that the database connection is all OK<br>
<br>
All channels were detected during the scans. I have set the default
start channel to an existing channel, though this does not seem to
'stick' i.e. each time I have a look in the setup that field is
blank... despite selecting not to clear the card/channels<br>
<br>
I can use mplayer and kaffeine without any problems, which suggest the
driver is OK<br>
<br>
Any advice would be greatly apreciated, <br>
<br>
I understand that some of the errors may be due to mythphone but when I
attempt to uninstall it it wants to uninstall the whole suite...<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
