Finland
This page describes shortly what is needed to install and setup MythTV in Finland.
OS used: Mythbuntu 10.10 64-bit
1. Install Mythbuntu
-make sure you have a working Internet connection
-install all available updates
2. Prepare channel data
MythTV needs to know channel multiplex details before it can tune channels. Basically you need to know frequency, modulation and symbol speed for each channel multiplex. Where this information is available, depends on your cable provider. Here is a link to DNA website http://www.dna.fi/Yksityisille/TV/KaapeliTV/Sivut/taajuudet.aspx.
Below is an example how the data needs to be inserted.
[mythtv@mythpc dvb-apps]$ pwd /usr/share/dvb-apps [mythtv@mythtv dvb-c]$ ls at-Innsbruck at-Vienna ch-Video2000 de-iesy fi-3ktv fi-Joensuu-Tikka lu-Ettelbruck-ACE at-Liwest be-IN.DI-Integan ch-Zuerich-cablecom de-Muenchen fi-HTV fi-TTV no-Oslo-CanalDigital at-SalzburgAG ch-unknown de-Berlin de-neftv fi-jkl fi-vaasa-oncable se-comhem [mythtv@mythtv dvb-c]$
[mythtv@mythpc ~]$ cat fi-HTV # no-Grimstad-CanalDigital (cable) # Frequency, Symbol Rate, QAM Mode C 410000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 418000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 426000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 442000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 450000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 458000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 466000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 474000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 482000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 490000000 6875000 NONE QAM64 C 498000000 6875000 NONE QAM64
Create a similar file as fi-HTV with your cable provider channel multiplex details.
Use the file to scan channels.
# scan fi-HTV > channels.conf
This should output channel names correctly if your DVB card is working.
3. Configuration
-close MythTV frontend
--means you only see Ubuntu Gnome interface
-start Terminal
--type mythtv-setup
--menu will appear where you can configure Capture Cards etc
--go through EACH entry starting from 1.
--use channels.conf generated earlier to import channels
TODO howto add EPG data
