Hi-
I am using MythTV 0.18 on Debian Etch w/ FusionHDTV5 Lite card. I can use
mythtv-setup to detect the OTA channels, but when I use mythfilldatabase
(w/o any parameters), some wget related stuff fly by, but in the end, it
complained that mythbackend is not running. When I ignore the error and
start mythbackend, it first complained that :
2005-12-29 16:02:48.184 DVB#0 ERROR - Unable to find channel in database.
2005-12-29 16:02:48.184 DVB#0 ERROR - Failed to get channel options for
channel 3.
Then I moved on to start mythfrontend and "Watch TV", I got only blank
screens and frontend console said:

I noticed that it said no PID set and with the atscscan from dvb-apps, I did
get some PIDs. But the problem is, the mythtv scan process seemed to be a
black box, and I had no control over details of it. So my questions are:
1. When running mythfilldatabase, according to the setup guide in
mythtv.org/doc, it is prior to starting backend, but why did it complain at
the end? Does that affect filling scanning result into database?
2. Is there a way to manually enter channel informations? Or is there a
solution to my problem (only using mythtv-setup/mythfilldatabase)?
I googled the problem and saw some one with same experience but there were
no solutions followed. Thanks in advance.
