OK, thanks for being patient with the interruption here.<br>

Continuing with this (the above suggestion) -- didn't make any
difference. Have one source, 'Antenna' so just the one screen to
enter the usenrname and password for SchedulesDirect. This time
got brave and clicked <Finish> - - the "pc:52722" field had
repopulated itself when I went back in to check. Unfortunately
mythfilldatabase is still myth-not-filling-the-database. (I know:
don't give up my day job to become a comedy writer. <g>)<br>
<br>

Did notice if I do mythtv-setup at Terminal, open 2. Capture
Cards, select a card (such as [ DVB : /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
] the next screen lists:<br>
DVD device: /dev/dbv/adapter0/frontend0<br>
Frontend ID: Could not get card info for card
/dev/dvb/adaper0/frontend0 Subtype: Unknown error<br>
<br>
I think this is a 'normal error' after configuration as seem to
remember reading about this problem about a year ago. The cards
are being found and recordings are occurring, and yes, I am sort
of grasping at straws to try to give some clues.<br>
<br>
<br>
OK, another WAG. From the above test:<br>
At terminal: mythtv-setup<br>
mysql: [Warning} Using a password on the command line
interface can be insecure.<br>
status: Name "com.ubuntu.Upstart" does not exist<br>
Gtk-message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This
is discouraged.<br>
Gtk-message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This
is discouraged. <-- repeated<br>
<br>
...OK: the 'mysql' and 'status' lines are displayed and then the
GUI for card configuration appears (with the overlay about the
backend is running).<br>
<br>
..TIA!<br>

Looks like mythbackend is still running when mythtv-setup is used,
all sorts of strange things can happen.<br>
<br>
You need to run in a terminal before running mythtv-setup<br>
<br>
sudo systemctl stop mythtv-backend.service<br>
<br>
The "status: Name "com.ubuntu.Upstart" does not exist" message is
actually due to a problem with mythtv/packaging. Technically the
problem arises due to the switch from upstart to systemd on
Ubuntu/Debian based systems.<br>
<br>
<br>
I have reported this problem, including a possible fix, see <a
