[mythtv-users] MythTV doesn't record

[Jonathan Black]

Felix,

I had a similar problem to this at one point. (Though I never messed 
with LiveTV, so I'm not sure if it was working or not) I think it came 
from making some changes the card and then rescanning the channels. To 
fix it I believe that I deleted all the cards from the MythTV setup and 
readded them again.

I'd suggest backing your database up before you make any large changes 
to MythTV. From the prompt just type "mysqldump mythconverg > 
mythconverg.sql".
