Thom,<br>The myth backend service will not start without a tuner/input source...<br>You can configure it with a dummy via mythtv-setup, and then the backend will start, and you can connect locally using the <a href="http://127.0.0.1">
127.0.0.1</a> address from the frontend software. You can tail the backend log to see what (if any) errors it it reporting about. Hopefully that answers the root question you asked.<br>--James<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>. I don't have any tuner cards, and don't need any, I just<br>want to be able to take what I have on my home system with me<br>periodically.<br><br>Anyone else doing a similar setup and can offer any tips or tricks to
<br>make this work well?<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>--<br>-=/>Thom<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users">
