All,<br><br>I just got my first MythTV system working last week and so far, so good. My main server is a frontend/backend running on Ubuntu Feisty (with whatever version is available through the standard Ubuntu repositories), and I have just about every computer I own capable of acting as a frontend (a few x86 Ubuntu machines and a G4 iMac), but mainly I use the server itself as my frontend (that is, until I get the materials I need to mod my xbox to make that a frontend). My backend is running on a
2.8ghz P4 with 512mb ram, and a Geforce2. I have a PVR-250 for a tuner card (though it will be joined by a PVR-500 when It's finally shipped) which I use to record standard NTSC cable. I'm away from my machine right now, so I can't post much more in the way of specifics, but I'll ask my question anyway. As far as I can tell, my hardware runs just fine, and it seems to be configured correctly in terms of drivers, etc. However, I think I have a setup problem with MythTV itself.
<br><br>My backend seems to constantly record whatever channel the frontend was last viewing. My typical usage is to use my main desktop machine (a different Ubuntu box) for normal computer usage, and while I'm doing that, I have my Myth frontend/backend machine functioning as a TV. Generally, I'll be using the computers in this fashion before I go to bed. Yesterday, I got Mythweb working and I tried to schedule some test recordings from work during the day. This is when I started to suspect a problem. When I would look at "MythTV Status" it would indicate that I was recording the channel that was on from the night before, but when I would look at the "backend logs," it indicated that it started recording the shows I was trying to record. When I got home, I saw that all I had was an entire days worth of the discovery channel, and not the three movies from AMC I tried to record.
<br><br>So that's the back story. All I'm asking for is tips on where to start looking for the problem, and advice of that nature. I do not expect anyone to be able to 100% positively diagnose the problem and solve it.
<br><br>Thanks!<br><br><br>Josh
