<br>><br>> Thanks!<br>><br>> Chris K.<br>><br>><br></div>I ended up resolving this with some help from John Drescher, so I'm<br>posting how I got it set up, for anyone else who may run into this in<br>
the future.<br><br>The situation: Adding a QAM/ATSC card to an existing set-up. Here is<br>how I (finally) successfully proceeded. (This is just a sketch of the<br>process, refer to the MythTV Wiki for more details.)<br>
<br>1. Shut machine down, install card, reboot.<br>2. After reboot, do "# tail /var/log/messages" to make sure that card<br>was picked up.<br>3. Exit frontend (if you're set up to automatically launch it on reboot).
<br>4. Set up listing for new digital channels on SchedulesDirect. Edit<br>is needed to cover the channels you actually get, and keep that page<br>open. You'll need it later.<br>5. # service mythbackend stop<br>
6. mythtvsetup<br> Go through the process for setting up the new card<br> Set up the new listing as a Video Source<br> Attach the Video Source to the card input, BUT don't bother running<br>"Fetch Channels from
<br> Listings Source". It won't work. Instead, run "Scan for Channels"<br>7. Finish mythtvsetup, but don't run mythfilldatabase yet.<br>8. # service mythbackend start<br>9. In a new browser window (or tab) open up MythWeb. Go to Setup,
<br>MythTV Channel Info.<br> You'll find that the new channels you just scanned for have no<br>XMLTV ID. For each channel<br> missing the XMLTV ID, go to the window/tab showing the SD lineup<br>editor. If you hover your
<br> cursor over the channel there, you'll get a small window with<br>the channel name and XMLTV ID<br> (a 5 digit number). Now go back to the MythWeb page and fill in<br>that number. Repeat as needed.<br>
10. Now run mythfilldatabase, and all should work.<br>
