Gus: thanks for your quick reply. I have a Hauppauge HVR2250 card. Mounted on a Gigabyte mobo with Intel Q9550 CPU. Right now, I'm in a "test bed" mode and am using an amplified over-the-air antenna, which I'll bring. It's good enough for a few local channels. Plan to migrate to our home cable feed, later.
Haven't set up Schedules Direct--will Titan TV not work? TitanTV is free and has schedule info. On this multiboot machine, I also have Windows 7 RC. The Hauppauge WinTV7 software works great with TitanTV as the schedule feed. Thought I would try the "open source" alternative. Is MythTV locked in to the Schedules Direct pay service? Oh well, so much for open source. thanks, David On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 8:45 AM, Gus Wirth <[email protected]> wrote: > On 11/13/2009 08:17 AM, David Hall wrote: > >> Any chance someone with MythTV expertise will be there at the Installfest? >> >> I am having trouble trying to install MythTV. >> Have tried installing MythTV on Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 and 9.10, tried SuSE >> 11, even Mythbuntu and Mythdora distros. >> I can't seem to get through MythTV setup, but then, I am a Linux newbie. >> > > I'll be there.
