Read the last page of the docs... about upgrading to the cvs... you need
to run a mysql script to update the database, at least that's what I had
to do to clear that error.  Check the archive for help with the exact
command.

Now if I could just get video and audio at the same time!

guideinfo.

I ran the setup program from the source and obtained
the same result.  when i click the record button i get
"You don't have any channels defined in the database
This isn't going to work."

I was also mistaken earlier, the only buttons that
don't work are the schedule a recording and the setup
button.

Again, I appreciate everyone's patience with this
Newbie.

Thanks,
jason

Did you run the setup/setup program from the source
directory? Make 
sure you complete all the steps there; this is what
associates a TV 
tuner device with a set of channel listings. Without
that, the program 
listings fetched by mythfilldatabase are not
associated with your 
tuner. The "Watch TV" button probably works because
you previously ran 
some program like xawtv which tuned the card to a
channel, but since 
Myth has no association between your card and a set of
channels, you 
can't change channels. If you reboot your machine and
then try to watch 
live TV with Myth, I'll bet you only get a blue
screen, since the tuner 
card will be in an "untuned" state.
