It's free. No need to apologize. If you want something that will work with little effort and provide detailed technical support, you should definitely go with a boxed solution like Tivo or at use software that is at least at version 1.0. I tell all my friends that when they come over and see MythTV and say, "Build me one. I want this."<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>MythTV is at version 0.2x.

Then restore the database, then run mythtv-setup again to make sure your database is upgraded if necessary and give it another go.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>-Brad</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></body></html>
