[mythtv-users] Myth tv unable to play Live TV

[Vamshi Reddy]

Thanks Aoron,
   
  The problem is my Tuner is not picking up any channels,other than 1 default channel.
  and I have no option but to pick up some default options like
  UK etc, while doing the Video Setup in MythTV Setup.
   
  I am able to see one channel that is it.

The grabber provides information about what is being broadcast. It is 
not needed
to actually receive the broadcast and watch it.

Does it actually lock on to channels and add them?

Scanning over the outputs you posted, it looks like you've populated the
database with incorrect channel information, i.e. from the United 
Kingdom, and
I'm assuming that you have no tuning information for those channels.

Well, I managed to get things working without using the grabber.
The mythtv-setup should lock on to channels when scanning, and this 
should
be enough to watch them. If it does not, you may need to try manually 
tuning
into channels, by finding frequency information and so forth for your 
local
transmitter station.

In any case, you should run mythbackend and while that is running you 
should
run the mythfrontend which then connects to the backend.
