<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm trying to find a Linux alternative to the
WinTV7 software that gets all channels, including clear QAM channels numbering
in the thousands. WinTV7 was simple to set up, and gets these
channels. TVtime works, but doesn't get these channels.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've spent many hours trying to get MythTV to work,
and I am fairly computer-literate. I am trying to get it to work on a
system using Ubuntu 9.10 and the Hauppauge 950Q USB stick (which works great
on my Windows machine with their WinTV7 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>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Anyway, I was getting the error message<B> Re:
Mythtv is using all inputs, but there are no active recordings</B>, and read
and tried everything on the Internet about this. I noticed 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>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Help! </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I work for CatchTheWaveTV.com, makers of The Wave,
a PC designed to connect to TV's, and we want everything to be pre-installed,
so if Mythtv must use this SchedulesDirect, we cannot implement it in The
Wave.</FONT></P>

</PRE></BLOCKQUOTE>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></BODY></HTML>
