Go to the Input connections screen, and select your video source from the drop down menu. If all goes well, you can scan for channels and set them up. Good luck! http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:MythTV_structure#Input_connections http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-MythTV.html

what do you mean when you say “then link them with the 4.Input connections. Nothing will work if you don’t do this”

Hey, it’s been 6 years, and all you’ve ever asked for is a new power supply. Good job, computer!

After a month of leaving it on top of my computer, I tried charging the washed phone up and it worked! Now we have another mini-tablet for using around the house with wi-fi.

16 hours and 15 minutes, 4 Buffalo chicken strips, a bottle of Wild Turkey, 5 Brad Paisley albums, a six pack of Pilsners, a few shots of Stoli, and a pot of coffee later, and statue has still not spawned yet! FS!

After messing around with widgetlocker for too many days and getting it set up right and such, I uninstalled it. It looks pretty and does some things nicely, but in the end it did not work as a lockscreen replacement for me. Too many issues. The default lockscreen “just works”. Function wins over fashion I guess.

Hmm I almost like the mobile theme more than the original.

Comment on How to encode MythTV MPEG to Xvid for archiving by J

Something happened on my machine with MythTV automatically transcoding from NUV to MPEG, so I tried opening the NUV’s in Avidemux. It didn’t work at first, but after renaming the file from .nuv to .mpg, it opened and worked.

I really can’t see any difference in file size or quality, so I think I may just skip the mythtranscode step for now, and just go straight from NUV to XVID.

Had a hiccup with zap2it, it started putting a bunch of “unknown” programs in there. I added these lines to ~/.zap2xmlrc (look at the url on zap2it’s website and change these values to yours)

lineupid = 000000:- postalcode = 000000

After that, cleared ~/cache and ran mythtv-setup, went to channel editor, and deleted all the channels. Then re-ran the tv script and custom mythfilldatabase. All is back to normal.
