Hello,
First off I want to say what a pleasure it is to have the
opportunity to post to this group. I have been following "MythTv" for
about 4 months now. I have tried it all from Snapstream (2.0 and the
beta 3.0 [Quartz], Showshifter, PowerVCR, Frevoo, Tivo, Replay etc. For
me MythTv has been the most promising and excited program with
Snapstream being second. So I just want to take this quick opportunity
before my 2 questions and say Thank you very much!
Ok now for my questions, first let me give you some detail
what I have installed.
P4 (Soyo FireDragon motherboard) 1.5
512mb RAM
40 GB HD on HPT360 controller
ATI Radeon All in Wonder (Blunder) 7500 as the video card (yeah I tried
using it as the TV card) :-(
SB Live
Intel 10/100
Hauppauge WinTV DBX (Input via SVIDEO)
Dish Network
Mandrake 9.1
When I run mythfilldatabase after running setup I get the
following (I attached a file because I did not want such a long
message).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong, I tried recompiling XMLTV
as well as rerun setup. I am using the CVS version of MythTv.
My second question. I have an Actisys IR200l. Is this the
best device to use for changing the channel on my Dish Box? It seems to
work on Snapstream though it doesn't seem as reliable as I would like.
The instructions are kind of confusing. I mean I am not sure if I am
suppose to go into my PC BIOS and change the serial port to IR or ASKIR
or leave it as normal. Any help would be appreciated.
Again guys I thank you. Take care.
