[mythtv-users] MythTV in Debian with Avermedia

[Alberto Rodriguez Galdo]

Hi,

   I've spent weeks trying to get MythTV up and running, without luck.
My system is a Debian Woody upgraded to Sarge so i use the dijkstra .deb
packages. I have a via 82cxxx sound card (those integrated in the mother
board) and an Avermedia Tv capture card, with a bt878 chip and I am in
Spain. I followed the howto to get it configured but i wasn't able to
get it running. I start mythbackend and then mythfrontend, when i try to
see live tv i am able to hear the sound, as it comes from the line-in,
but the screen is blank. I've executed this in all sorts of
configurations, kde, gnome, windowmaker, with spanish tv, us, etc... I
know my sound card works fine because i can hear mp3 in freeamp or xmms
wich uses /dev/dsp and i am able to see the tv using xawtv... I must say
i'm not using alsa drivers, i use the proper via driver from the kernel
itself.

   So, the question is, ¿Does anybody in spain has mythtv running in
Debian Sarge? or even ¿Did anyone in spain got it running?


Greets,
