I have not watched TV in about a month. The last time I used MythTV I had just gotten my installation (mostly) working and I was able to watch LiveTV. I spent a lot of time with the setup, but once it was working, I had to catch up on other stuff and I didn't get to use MythTV. Today I tried to watch LiveTV
on Myth .22 and it simply exits back to the menu with no TV played.
Here are the sections of the logs that I think are relevant:<br>

<br><br>After seeing mention of "failed to get pginfo" I looked back a
little further in the logs and found this, which seems to indicate no
problems with scheduling data:<br>

<br>I also reviewed the backend setup and it
seems OK. Nothing has changed afaik. After I exited backendsetup I ran
mythfilldatabase again, and tried LiveTV again, and it still exits
without playing. I also tried rebooting.<br><br>In addition to LiveTV not working, the scheduled recordings have a problem too. Beyond the few that I recorded a month ago when testing the setup, the more recent recordings all give the error that the local "file for this recording cannot be found".<br>
<br>
The only thing that has changed recently are the Mythbuntu security updates that were automatically applied. (BTW, my system is completely up to date as of today.) <br>
<br>
So that leaves me without a clue what the problem could be. I'm new to MythTV.
</blockquote></div><br></div></div>More info:<br>I have a PVR 150 and an HVR 850. BTW, the HVR 850 has never gotten program guide info correctly.<br><br>I just did some more troubleshooting. <br><br>First I tried streaming from a capture device in VLC. VLC can display live TV from the PVR150. (I didn't know how to make VLC do this with the HVR 850, so I couldn't really test that device in VLC.)<br>
<br>Next I went into the backend and deleted the HVR 850 capture device on the assumption that it might be mucking up the works. But I still cannot get Live TV to play, so that wasn't the problem.<br><br>Next I tried playing recorded shows. The earlier (valid) recordings will play. I deleted all the more recent recording that gave the error "file for this recording cannot be found". But given that I can play good recordings, that indicates something positive about playback capabilities...<br>
<br>Any suggestions for next steps?<br>

<br>It suggests there could be a problem with my system time:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">Your program guide is set to Dec 31st 1969..<br>
</blockquote><br>However, my system clock is correct. And the time issue apparently wasn't the problem in that thread either. But it is curious that my log is reporting a 1969 date....<br>
