Hi;

First off, what do you plan to record (analog or digital TV?) If
you want digital, then DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) is correct
and the /dev entries look good.

You should see a file named mysql.conf under /etc/init (not /etc/init.d)
because its controlled by upstart.

And it should start automatically.

To start it manually, type: sudo start mysql. If its not starting, see
/var/log/mysql/error.log, it may help explain why.

The above suggests you're running mythbackend as root, which isn't
recommended. In /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf, I would have expected
the "--user mythtv" argument and then you'd be using the file you
listed above (same for config.sys.)
