[mythtv-users] ivtv setup question

[William Powers]

Uh, no.  I think you missed my point.  MythTV reconfigures the card 
before each and every recording based on the information in its channel 
database.  Thus, the only way to make a permanent change is to make the 
change in the channel database.  Any of those parameters you set via 
test_ioctl will be overwritten the first time the card is actually used. 
  If you are conversant in mysql, it may be easier for you to make the 
change directly into the database rather than by using MythWeb. 
Personally, I find the GUI easy to use, but that's just me.
