[mythtv-users] getting started

[Daryl McDonald]

Hey Thomas, thanks for the reply. The PC is multi use, I have a 160 GB HD
with Windows 7/64 bit on it and now thanks to your advise I have Ubuntu
12.04 and Mythbuntu sharing the 1TB HD, approx 25% - 75%. I've opened
Mythbuntu up and it seems that it is only a front end, it keeps telling me
that there is no back end configured. What should I do now to configure the
tuner cards?
