Hi there!<br>
I've been trying to get MythTV to work for the past few days but
somehow I don't get it to tune to channels. I'm using a single machine
with a PVR-150 non-MCE.<br>
<br>
I'm fairly new to linux, guess that doesn't help much...<br>
<br>
What I've done so far is:<br>
Installed MyhthTV using Jarods FC4 guide. I've stayed as close to the
instructions as possible. I have filled the database using
myhtfilldatabase --manual using tv_grab_nl_pdb with the information of
two channels.<br>
<br>
When I choose WatchTV I get a non-tuned image. I can faintly see a TV image so I know <br>
'something' is happening... Selecting channel 1 or 2 results in the image freezing for a second or two but that's it. <br>
I tried <br>
# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &<br>
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0<br>
<br>
but apparently ptune-ui.pl is not included in the package I installed (?!). Now when I use <br>
<br>
<br>
ivtv-tune -f715.75<br>
I get<br>
/dev/video0: 715.750 MHz (Signal Detected)<br>
and the channel actually changes in the front end! <br>
<br>
When I try channel up or channel down, I get:<br>

Using Channelup and Channeldown I get:<br>
<br>
2005-11-23 22:27:33.187 Channel(/dev/video0): CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "E2" in the "setup" Channel Editor.<br>
2005-11-23 22:27:33.187 Error, couldn't find any available channels.<br>
2005-11-23 22:27:33.188 Your database is most likely setup incorrectly.<br>
<br>
I get the first line for every channel between 1 and 69 (and E en S channels).<br>
<br>
I suspect I've made an obvious mistake, but I can't find it. Can someone please help me out?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot, Ronald<br>
