[mythtv-users] mythfilldatabase errors: Can; t get channel+ no sound in mythtv

[Analabha Roy]

Okay, I deleted the mythconverg database and restarted the whole config of 
mysql then mythtv-setup as per the instructions on 

http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/HOWTO-fc3.php

For review, my machine if a P4 running on FC-3. My video cap card is a 
Hauppauge Wintv-go that runs fine on the bttv driver, and my cable provider 
is Time Warner (US) and I have a login at
zap2itlabs.com<http://zap2itlabs.com>from where I've been downloading
my channel lists for some time with no
problem on that end.

I have made a screenshot gallery detailing the steps that I took as per the 
HOWTO (I have no remote so didn't follow lirc config).

The shots are on:

As you can see, running mythfilldatabase gives a whole bunch of errors, and 
running mythtv-frontend gives no pic or sound...


I would greatly appreciate any advise in this matter. Can anyone tell me 
what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
AR
