OK, so I upgraded to 0.22 on Mythbuntu 9.10 today and it went fairly smoothly. I can capture from my HD-PVR using "cat /dev/video0 > <filename>" so the kernel sees it. I added the HD-PVR as a tuner card, but I'm a little unsure how to tie the channels from my cable box to it. So, can anyone give me some pointers with the following:<br>
<br>
1) I have a lot of my channels in my SchedulesDirect lineup that I can only get from my cable box (originally I wanted to capture them over Firewire). How do I get these channels into Myth? I may have had them once but used the channel editor to remove them since I could never get Firewire to work. Do I have to make a new Input connection for them?<br>
<br>
2) When I added the HD-PVR, I put in "/usr/bin/6200ch" as the channel change script. I realized that I don't have 6200ch. I know I can compile it so that's not a problem. Is "/usr/bin/6200ch" enough to have on that command line, or are there other parameters that I need to pass in?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>

What I did was to create a new line-up in SD using my cable providers digital package (Mediacom - Digital). I then eliminated the channels that were known to not work (on the SD web site) plus the ones I'd never watch (ie HSN, etc.). You then reference this line-up on the Input Connection screen of mythtv-setup for the particular input you are using on the HD-PVR (probably component for HD). Click on the "Get channels from source" button once you have selected your line-up. Do not try to scan. Since you are using the HD-PVR, you probably are not sharing this line-up with any other tuner device. If you are, I do not know how you would disable some channels for a particular input (but I suspect there is a way). I have three line-ups on SD: LocalBroadcast (antenna), Cable (NTSC/clear QAM), and DigitalCable (HD-PVR). Only the HD-PVR uses the DigitalCable line-up. I would also recommend that you use the mythchanger application. It doesn't require knowing what firewire port you are using. You would enter the command as "mythchanger -c ". Hope this helps.<br>
