I reinstalled the SW. My Hauppage 1250 is now recognised in the setup. But,
on the front end when I press Watcb TV I get an error of this bizarre
wording:
"ERROR: MythTV is using all inputs, but there are no active recordings?"
I've been speaking English for 62 years and can't interpret that in any
sensible way.
What am I missing?
