[mythtv-users] Stubborn Live TV

Wed Mar 16 05:23:19 UTC 2005

Hmmm, got a picture but it seems to be stuck on Channel 9. 

Perhaps I am having issues with the mechanism that defines the frequency for
each channel and sends it to the card?

Am thinking that perhaps I am missing a channels.conf? Is this something I
need? I see a fair few posts around this file for digital TV but I am only
interested in plain old analog terrestrial stuff at the moment.

Regards

Marty

My new FC3 box with a 350 which I have been setting up via Jarod's guide
seems to be really close to working but for some reason I cannot see live
TV. I have the fb stuff in and am successfully showing X on the TV out. I've
fiddled with offsets and all that and the menus look very nice and sharp.

I was able to capture video off the tuner by first setting up the channel
with ptune.pl and then using the command in the guide.

# cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test_capture.mpg

I'm using tv_grab_au and it seems to work OK. mythfilldatabase appears to
load up.

Can someone give me an idea of how to track this one down? I just get a
blank screen when I go to 'Watch TV'. 

I've been through all the setup menus (mythsetup as well as the ones in
mythfrontend) I can find fiddling with whatever looks like it may help but
nothing seems to work.

I don't know if this is of any use but here is the output from mythfrontend:

Any help or hints would be appreciated. Are there any other logs that I
should be looking at?
