<p class="MsoNormal">Hello MythTV mailing list. This is my first
time asking a
question through this mailing list so please tell me if/where
I am in breach of
etiquette – but gently please. ;-} I have looked for this
problem in the existing
mailing list but haven’t found a match.<br>

it seems to me that I can skip a lot of machine level details
‘cause this
worked according to the documentation in the previous release
and a little
different in the next. Only the release of MythTV and the
version of Ubunutu has
changed, not the hardware.<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Very simple question. This is something
that was working
correctly in 0.27 and after migrating to 0.28, it doesn’t
quite work the way it
did. This is a nuisance for me. Certainly not a major problem.

<p class="MsoNormal">In 0.27, when watching live TV, the ‘Input
Connection’ ‘Display
Name’ used to work as described in <a moz-do-not-send="true"

which says that the Input Connection ‘Display Name’ is ‘…<span

displayed on screen when Live TV begins and
when changing the selected input or card. If you use this,
make sure the
information is unique for each input.</span>’ That is, when
I started live TV,
I saw the display name at the top center of the TV window.
When I changed input
source (with the ‘y’ key). The name input connection display
name was then re-displayed
at top center of the TV screen. At least that is my
recollection – it was some
time ago.<span></span></p>

weeks ago, I migrated
to 0.28 (fixes/0.28 (v0.28-2-g15cf421)) as I upgraded Ubuntu
from 14.04 to
16.04. Since then I have noticed that the behaviour is
different to 0.27 in
that the initial display behaviour is as before, but when I
use the ‘y’ key to
change tuner, there is no indication of what input
connection is in use. I
currently have 6 separate input connections so it is easy to
lose track of which
input connection is in use.<span></span></span></p>

my problem is the lack of
‘display name’ on the live tv window after pressing the ‘y’

verify that they do or do not have this problem? Anyone
still on 0.27 confirm

a work around, is there a
way to display the current display name when in live TV?
That would be a good
work around. I have two ways at the moment of achieving this
but both are
clumsy. (1) See what tuners are in use using another
frontend to look at
Information Center->System Status->Tuner Status and
work out which one is
in use by live tv (2) Use ‘m’ key->playback->Playback
Data and use the
filename to extract the device number and use that to
determine the input
connection.</span><span></span></p>
