I am having a great deal of trouble getting MythTV to work properly. I can get
the backend and frontend running but when I try and watch TV I get a nice black
screen. The first obvious problem is that MythTV seems to be trying to use
tv_grab_na and I only have the newer tv_grab_dd. I've tryed getting the XML file
and then using mythfilldatabase --file but I'm not sure what sourceid means. I am
using /dev/video0 so I assume that my sourceid should be 0. After running
mythfilldatabase --file 0 -1 /tmp/tv.xml it displays some benign, I think, errors
dealing with icons and such. The channels table in my database is populated but I
have no idea if the data is correct. When I
run mythbackend I get these two errors:
CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "3" in the "setup" Channel Editor.
Cableone is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput.
One thing that looks to me like it might be wrong is the freqid in the channel
table. All of my entries are in the format '2 KJR' or '3 KDO'. Is this the data
that should be in this field? I have been working on this all day and am getting
burned out but I really would like to get it going. If anyone can offer give me
some suggestions on what I might be doing wrong I'd be greatful. I've included my
system specs below.
AMD 2400+
TNT2 video card
Hauppauge WinTV-GO 150
Fedora Core 1
