<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ok, I'm a complete
newbie to mythtv, just to let you know. I have cable provided by my phone
company (phone, dsl, cable package). They provided me with a dsl modem
(VisionNet 204ER-4) which has four ports on it (one for internet and three for
tv). The signal is sent over cat5 to an Amino AmiNET 110 set top
box. I'm sure this is not new to anyone, I just want to be thorough.
I would like to be able to have my server record shows like a PVR. I have
no tuner card because it seems that I ought to be able to connect via
cat5 from the modem to the NIC on my server. MythTV would, I
guess, be able to tune to a channel to record it when needed. The problems
I'm running into are as follows:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. I cannot find a
decent howto for configuring iptv connections / cards.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I do not know
what IP address to give my NIC on the server. The AmiNET 110's have a
settings page that lists their IP addresses ( one is 10.2.199.135, and the other
is 10.2.200.133).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. I do not know the
IP of the modem or if it even needs one.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. How do I find out
the IP addresses of the channels offered from my provider for viewing /
recording?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. I don't know what
else I'm missing to be able to understand how to do this!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343540621-19092007><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a mediocre PC
as my server which is running FC6. I have mythtv installed and
running. I do not have videolan (VLC?) installed. There are two
NIC's in the server, one is on my local lan, and the other was unused until I
wanted to do this, now it is plugged into the last port on my VisionNet ADSL
modem. If you need more info, let me know.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
