Both mythfrontend & mythbackend output to stdout/stderr... unless you're
explicitly redirecting the output when you start the apps.

How are you starting your myth executables?

I am simply starting them from the command line. Actually over an ssh
connection with the DISPLAY set :0. So I can see any output and
mythtvbackend does generate a few items on startup but nothing after
that. The startup items are as I remember a list of the inputs on my tv
card. That is it. mythtvfrontend doesn't output anything. Is there
anything else that I can use to debug the problems. I have looked
through the database and everything looks like I would expect. How are
scheduled recordings started? If it isn't built in to mythtvbackend I
have missed something.

Hmmm, sounds like you need to go through the docs again step-by-step and
double check everything. Run both the backend & frontend setup programs,
check your mysql.txt file, and triple-check all your IP addresses in both
the backend setup & mysql.txt. Make sure that any IP address you use is
actually valid for the box you're running on (i.e., don't set the Master
backend IP to "127.0.0.1" and expect a remote frontend to work properly.

As far as terminal output goes... there's not much more than what you're
already seeing.
