software, and also works on my Ubuntu machine with TVtime). I have
read everything and tried everything. One question is if MythTV really
requires a subscription to SchedulesDirect to use MythTV? WinTV7
doesn't require this.</font></p>

that scanning or fetching TV channels wouldn't work, so I signed up
with SchedulesDirect to see if this would help, even though I don't
want to be forced to sign up and pay for this service. And now when I
run Mythtv and try "Watch TV" it says "Please W…" and then goes back to
the menu.</font></p>

Mythtv don't require you to use schedule direct,but if you want to
schedule any programs using an EPG for recording, you need it. I don't
believe eit in the US or Canada is that reliable.. Mythtv is a high
end PVR that does things no other PVR software does..It's always being
worked on and improved..<br>
As far as your problem goes,either you didn't complete all 4 steps on
the set-up or you have a permissions problem..<br>
