just a wild and uninformed guess, but try answering yes to the first
two setup questions about clearing your prefs and program info, then
make sure to go through the setup carefully, making sure you choose the
correct information for grabber info, location, etc. You might also
delete your ./xmltv directory first too.


good luck

Tried that, no luck. But what is interesting is when I run setup and
choose option 3 this is what I get in the background.

[chindall@pvrbox setup]$ ./setup
Would you like to clear all capture card
settings before starting configuration? [no] yes
Would you like to clear all program/channel
settings before starting configuration? [no] yes
Unknown option: list-regions

--provider 128758 --auto-new-channels add exited with status 256

I have tried recompiling XMLTV with no luck so far. I am thinking I
should got back to .8 but the CVS has me so curious :-). If there is
anything else you can think of please let me know.

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)L

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.

xmltv doesn't appear to support the "list-regions" command for all areas. Specifically it falls over in the UK

Ignore it, just don't specify an area. mythfilldatabase will still work OK.
