Did you run the setup/setup program from the source directory? Make
sure you complete all the steps there; this is what associates a TV
tuner device with a set of channel listings. Without that, the program
listings fetched by mythfilldatabase are not associated with your
tuner. The "Watch TV" button probably works because you previously ran
some program like xawtv which tuned the card to a channel, but since
Myth has no association between your card and a set of channels, you
can't change channels. If you reboot your machine and then try to watch
live TV with Myth, I'll bet you only get a blue screen, since the tuner
card will be in an "untuned" state.

I ran the setup program from the source and obtained
the same result. when i click the record button i get
"You don't have any channels defined in the database
This isn't going to work."

I was also mistaken earlier, the only buttons that
don't work are the schedule a recording and the setup
button.

Again, I appreciate everyone's patience with this
Newbie.

Thanks,
jason

Read the last page of the docs... about upgrading to the cvs... you need
to run a mysql script to update the database, at least that's what I had
to do to clear that error. Check the archive for help with the exact
command.

Now if I could just get video and audio at the same time!
