All inputs in use???
Hi, I'm a noob to MythTV and pretty new to Linux. I was able to get MythTV
installed correctly, but when I try to "Watch TV" I get a message saying
that "all inputs are being used to record" However, I'm not recording
anything! When I go view the current recording or delete recordings nothing
is there. Yet I can see my diskspace decreasing and a .nuv file is being
written to my /var/video folder. This problem is similar to a previous
post:

But I have not seen a solution to it yet...

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Running Mandrake 9.1

P.S. I can watch TV using XawTV with no problems.

Ahh, but you more than likely _are_ recording.. My guess is that you're
using a sound card that isn't set up to handle full duplex (i.e.
playback/record simultaneously).

There might be a setting you can pass to the module for your sound card
that will enable full duplex.

Best of luck..

That's my problem....I'm recording something without being able to see it or
delete it, and it just starts this "hidden" recording as soon as I click
"Watch TV". Because of this I'm not able to watch TV at all!!
