[mythtv-users] Tuning Issues

[Marty Ravell]

OK, I'll work on getting mythfilldatabase working properly.

I cannot help but think that using ptune-ui and mplayer would be completely
independent of what is in the MythTV database though.

Am I not correct in thinking that the ptune-ui script should be setting the
channel on the tuner? I choose PAL and the Australia frequency table in
ptune-ui. Is that not enough?

I'm not talking about even running mythfrontend yet but rather doing the
testing steps as outlined in Jarod's guide:


"

# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0

Use the ptune UI to change channels, frequency tables, TV standard, etc., as
necessary, until you find a working channel. .....................

Regards
Marty

Well, you've answered your own question then. You need mythfilldatabase to
set the channels up so the hardware knows what changing the channel
does/means. Go concentrate on your favorite howto source  for
mythfilldatabase  and once you get that running clean, you should be all
set. You've done the hardest part, getting the 350 output working. The rest
should be simple.
