Re: [mythtv-users] Frontends can't find database, can't connect (success)

[Michael Jones]

Thanks Marc and Korey..

That was the ticket.

The link http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#mysql

In combination with the info provided by Mark Tousignant put me in the right
place. 

When I listed the users, only the root users had a Y in ANY of the privilege
columns.  I used the GRANT functions to add the privileges and everything
dropped into place.

[Korey Fort]

You have to do the same for all of the users who connect to the database no
bind necessary.

Marc, 

Thanks.. I'll give that part a shot..

However, 

Acutally I can only connect to the mysql database LOCALLY as root.. I can't
do squat from a remote front end (root or otherwise). .

I may have to dig into the bind addresses or something..

Marc, 

Thanks.. I'll give that part a shot..

However, 

Acutally I can only connect to the mysql database LOCALLY as root.. I can't
do squat from a remote front end (root or otherwise). .

I may have to dig into the bind addresses or something..

We go the wireless keyboard with JP1 programmed remote that emulates
the keyboard.  One ir receiver that gives you a keyboard if you need
it and the remote.  If you get the ir receiver for an Adesso wireless
keyboard, we have the programming file on our website for a JP1 remote
of your choice.

I am planning on a DVD player and an HDTV antenna.  I know a

player and enjoy.

Just my 2 cents,
Mark

  
  
I just got tired of having to replace the media.  I have no more DVDs 
to deal with, except the ones I rent.  And those that are scratched 
enough that if I really cared, I'd buy it, hook up my trusty Denon 
DVD-5910 (which has a nice layer of dust on it), and watch it.

Oh, then I'd rip it and put it in myth as either an ISO or an mpg 
and dare anyone to tell the difference.  The convenience of 
not having to search around for it, while also being able to 
watch it on any TV where I have a myth frontend FAR outweighs 
the picture quality I think might have an advantage by playing 
right through the DVD player itself.

Thank you all for your responses.  This has been extremely helpful and
the fog is starting to clear. 

Paul thanks for your suggestion of dumping my 300 cd carousel.  I like
the carousel but I like the idea better and it should only take about
150 gig hd to do it.  Does mythtv or some addon piece of software
automatically download all the track title and artist info and allow
you
to search your CDs on HD to find and play music?

Also Paul, you stated at one time that "you dare anybody to tell the
difference between a dedicated DVD and MythTV playing it".  Is this
from the DVD drive or after you copied it ot HD.  Later you mention
that HD is worth the image loss.  Please clarify.  Somebody mentioned
that Linux DVD players are not up to par.  If you found one that is
please inform us.  We rent a lot of DVD and I can't see copying them
all to HD before playing them.  

Thanks again for all the help,

Chris Lopeman

[Marc Tousignant]

Mike,

Follow this
yggdrasil ~ # mysql -uroot -p
mysql> show databases;
mysql> use mysql;
mysql> select * from user where User = 'mythtv';

you should see atleast 2 records
| % | mythtv
| localhost | mythtv

If you do not see the % one create a the user
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'mythtv'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'mythtv';
% is the one that would allow the user to connect from a remote location

You say root can connect remotely so I do not thing the bind address needs
to be changed.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to put the ABC Australia
broadband streams into mythstream. They have a page at
http://www.abc.net.au/broadband/default.htm which has on demand news,
sport and business, but I can't work out how to determine what URL to
put into streams.res. If anyone has already done this or knows how to,
could you please share it?

Also, the instructions at the link given above talk abuot using real
player and ethereal. Does this assume that real and ethereal are on
the same box? I have real on a windows PC and could put ethereal on my
linux internet gateway - would that allow me to find the real rtsp://
URLs for real content?

Thanks,

Re: [mythtv-users] [Slightly OT] Recommendations for Joysticks?

[Ross Campbell]

> and was wondering if anyone had some recommendations.

I have a "Super Joybox 5" USB adapter that supports up to 4
playstation controllers.
http://www.spotted-horse.com/product_info.php?products_id=36042

It works pretty much out of the box, and since I had extra PSX
controllers gathering dust, it was an easy decision.

With xmame, you need to enable the i386 joystick type in your build
and the options and then you need to select the analog or digital mode
that corresponds to what they game you're trying to play expects for
input.

The button order is different than what you'd expect from a
playstation controller. Button one is "triangle" at the top, with
2,3,4 going clockwise from there. Next buton is L3, and so on.

For real arcade feel, I've used X-Arcade before, and would definitely
recommend them - http://www.x-arcade.com/products.shtml

Don't know how much of WAF a giant arcade joystick on the floor of the
living room is going to get you though ;)

different variations with no changes

The only attempt that allowed me to start mysqld was to put the
bind-address=x.x.x.x in the [mysql.server] section, but it didn't change the
final outcome at all.

the error that I get from the mythtv-setup and mythfrontend entries are:

QMYSQL3: Unable to connect

I get the same result from other machines (a Windows machine running
WinMythtv and a MacOSX 10.4 (tiger) machine running MacMythtv frontend.

I've also tried setting it to connect as root (just for giggles) with the
same result. 

I've also tried the security setup described in
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.2 with no joy (Tried all
3 levels.. none, domain level security and ip address security).

It almost seems as though the mythconverg database is all fubar'd.. but it
might be something simple..

Just another note..

I did use http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#mysql to set this up...

I did receive the error that is mentioned here..

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR250

Are you sure you put the right card in mythtvsetup? Start mythtvsetup
and check capture card settings -> card type. This should be set to
hardware mpeg-2 card.

You shoudn't have to change any settings in mythfrontend to get the 250 working.

[mythtv-users] PVR250

[mcffeyel]

Dear users,

I am very experienced with Linux, but brand new with Mythtv.

I am using a PVR-250 card. This card works fine under linux, using
the appropriate drivers (ie I can see the video input in a window using
mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0).

I did the configuration using mythtvsetup, as described in the howto.

I did configure the mpeg-2 encoders in the front-end.

But LiveTV does not work, the front-end complains with :

I tried to look for these "Software Encoders", but I do not have any of
those. I only see "MPEG-2 Encoders (PVR-250,PVR-350)" and "Encodeurs".

What should I do ?

Thx, Frederic.

[mythtv-users] tv_grab_za not in mythtvsetup

[Deon Bredenhann]

Hi there

I used Jarod's guide in setting up my box with a PVR350.

Now the xmltv package includes tv_grab_za, which I tested, and I get
program listings. The problem is that I cannot select tv_grab_za in
mythtvsetup.
Any idea on how I can get around this problem?

Thanx a mil.

I am on satellite and those are the only hdtv signals available to me, 
cable or off the air is not an option.


I believe there is a something called sdi that is either a interface 
or a signal standard that professionals use for hd video.

perhaps it's something similar to firewire?


SDI is the Serial Digital Interface and is the basis of digital transfer 
mechanisms such as DVI (Digital Video Interface) and HDMI 
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) as well as other audio and video 
distribution formats.  If you can get this from your receiver (and into 
the computer), you'd be able to use option a) below...


another item to consider is hacking into the sat receiver and getting 
the signal after it's been decrypted and building a interface that way.

I am using one of echostar's dishnetwork receivers (a model 811).


Make sure you read your usage agreement from DISH...

I'd be open to a solution under $1000 to capture hd and time shift for 
later viewing.


I am somewhat new to hd so any suggestions, comments, concerns or 
advice welcome.


If you want the sub-$1000 HDTV encoder, you have two options:  a) tons 
of hard drives, some as-yet-unavailable signal aquisition device, and 
nowhere-near-real-time encoding or b) wait a few years for the prices to 
drop (assuming that special interests--i.e. MPAA--don't prevent this 
from happening).


For a), you'll need some way to get the digital image into the computer 
and a lot of hard drive space.  The BTTV frame grabber cards work with 
NTSC-sized images, so it would require some way of splitting the signal 
and "tiling" the picture among them then "stitching" it back together.  
For DVI or HDMI, I don't know of anything that will dump the digital 
image (with or without conversion to RGB), but there may be devices that 
can do it.


As for the hard drive space, uncompressed 16-bit color video in 720x480 
interlaced (NTSC) takes about 70GiB/hr (or 105GiB/hr in 24-bit color).  
For ATSC, storage requirements are significantly higher.  You mention 
720i format, but that's not a valid format according to ATSC ( 
http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ISSUES/what_is_ATSC.html ), so I'll assume you 
mean 720p.  A single frame of 720p video takes [EMAIL PROTECTED] color or 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] color.  Below are the hourly storage requirements.


Format  16-bit Color24-bit Color
--  
720p24  148 GiB/hr  222Gi B/hr
720p30  185 GiB/hr  278Gi B/hr
720p60  371 GiB/hr  556Gi B/hr=1.33Gb/sec

Note that if you have any 1080i channels, storage requirements will 
increase (uncompressed 1080i60 in 24-bit color requires 626GiB/hr)--and 
none of these numbers include audio.  So, although it's possible, you 
won't get much TV for under $1000.  Especially once you factor in 
encoding time--likely to be (much) greater than 6hrs to encode 1hr of video.


Currently, the only really workable solution is OTA capture cards 
and--for the lucky ones whose cable companies don't encrypt their 
high-def channels--QAM capture cards or firewire capture (with capable 
receivers).  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I tried XvMC and aside from gettting lower CPU usage, I get my OSD in
monochrome :(

Since I still have a fair amount of CPU to burn with NTSC analog
broadcasts, I'd rather get my OSD in color. Please someone tell me if
I'm missing something about XvMC, NVidia, and color OSD.

I'm still on 6111 as well and it does everything I need. I tried a few

Well, okay... I've been using the latest 0.3.6X drivers on FC1 built
from source with no problem, and actually, I believe I can perceive
better quality recently in my recordings. Wishful thinking? I don't
know. YMMV.

Long live FC1! I have spent so long tuning and tweaking my system in
attempts to reach mythtv nirvana, that I have little motivation to do
an OS rebuild just to get a 2.6 kernel.

But... there's always the *next* backend server. It's going to have
2tb of hardware RAID storage and 3 PVR500s and ... :)

I second what the last person said.  But if that hasn't convinced you, I've

I'm using 1.0-7664 and haven't run into any problem with it (yet), but some 
people with certain configurations (can't remember off of the top of my head 
what they were) have complained.  FYI

Yes, of course :-)

However, if I can improve recorded picture quality (ivtv drivers) or

What TV do you have?

If you have one of the Samsung DLP's, make sure the video mode isn't set
to "expand", which is the setting that gives 1:1 pixel correspondence.

Personally, I like the sharpness of expand mode, which is better for
reading text; but the overscan means I need to adjust my windows so they
appear on-screen.  6 of one, yadda yadda yadda.

[mythtv-users] On Line EPG Getting Stuck

[Dave Ansell]

Hi,

For the last couple of weeks I have been having problems with the 
on-air EPG (UK).


Normally it should have one week of data, but every so often it seems 
to stop updating so that the later days have no data.  Sometimes several 
days at the end (of the 7 day period) will be missing, either for all 
channels or sometimes just a few channels.


  I cannot see any obvious problem with the EPG data when viewing from the 
Set Top Box.


 The really wierd thing is that if I completely reboot my myth backend the 
the gaps usually get filled in shortly afterwards.  It is as if something 
"gets stuck" and rebooting releases it.


  I can't track the problem back to any specific Myth release, but I am 
currently on mythtv-backend-0.18.1-113.rhfc3.at, Fedora FC3.


  Any ideas?  It is a pain having to keep watching the EPG to make sure I 
don't miss recordings due to missing EPG data and I can't really be bothered 
setting up the xmltv grabber instead.


Thanks,
Dave

[mythtv-users] Video out issue with mythfrontend

[wmaccormack]

Hi folks.  I'm running linux kernel 2.6.9 vanilla, with a WinTV-PVR350 card.  
My video card is a GEForce FX5200, and I've got a dual headed configuration.  
Myth version 0.18.1-3.  All of my modules load correctly, and most everything 
works except for one thing.  If I start mythfrontend on my monitor and select 
watch tv, everything is cool -- good video, good audio, etc. . .  

When I start the mythfrontend on my tv (by typing "env DISPLAY=:0.1 mythfronend 
&") the frontend starts fine, no errors or anything.  If I select watch tv, it 
starts out great.  good video, good audio, but when I move my mouse over to the 
television, my video goes away and is replaced by a big black box, audio still 
works though.  It looks like it's trying to bring some kind of window to the 
foreground.  I've checked the settings in mythfrontend and everything looks 
good to me, but maybe there's something I'm missing.

Has anyone else run into this kind of problem?

Unless you receive between 3,000 and 10,000 channels, there were
way too many rows in your tables. This may have happened do to bad
data in one of your listings grabs that caused it to enter the data
repeatedly or there was memory corruption during the fill or the
DB table was hozed or something else. In any case, mfdb has to
search through all this data for things to remove or replace. These
four tables are all filled with transient data by mfdb and all data
can be replaced with a new grab. Truncate throws away all data for
the table without removing the table definition. The mysqlcheck
was to verify that the DB wasn't still hozed after removing the
data.

I believe that this is fixed in ivtv CVS. I'm using 0.3.6p with a
patch. I have both a 150 and a 250 in the same box and they are now
recognized correctly, but only from a cold boot. I had the same
problem where the 150 wasn't recognized and the 250 was seen as a 150.
In my system they are not recognized from a warm boot as something is
messing up the PCI subsystem vendor id.

Please run the command:

/sbin/lspci -xx

from a cold boot and a warm boot and post back the data for your 250.
This will help us tell if it's the same problem.

[mythtv-users] DVB USB Ideas

[dhoyos]

Im a little confused and was hoping the mailing list could help me out. I got
the mythtv system working but I have come to realize that I am not satisfied
with the analog channels I can record. It seems that the options I have are to
purchase a DVB tuner card or to set up an IR Blaster and connect my myth box
from the cable box. I would rather use a DVB tuner but then my question is,
will this tunner allow me to view all the channels (or the ones I am paying
for)? If so any recomendations on a good one (preferably USB).
Thanks

Re: [mythtv-users] after mythrtvsetup my PVR 250 is recongnized asa PVR150 help!

[Daniel Bennett]

If the PCI device ID isn't recognized, 0.3 versions assume it's a 
PVR-150.  0.2 versions assume it's a PVR-250, so you could just use 
0.2.x...


The right solution, however, is to get the card recognized (basically, 
the info needs added to ivtv-cards.c)...  From the IvyTV 
initialization log messages:


ivtv:  START INIT IVTV 
ivtv: version x.x.x () loading
ivtv: Linux version: x.x.x
ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info
ivtv: between the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines when
ivtv: mailing the ivtv-devel mailinglist.

(and also post the output of lspci -v and a note saying your card 
isn't recognized.)

I have a similar problem, where my 250 works fine as long as its from a 
cold boot, if i reboot it detects as a 150. If I turn the system off for 
a few minutes and fire it up again it detects as a 250.

[mythtv-users] RE: DVB Subtitles Patch v1.0 released

[Neil]

Hi PJ, 

I have applied your patch to the newest svn trunk of mythtv. It's very 
clean. I got it installed without issues. I made it sure that close 
captioning is enabled in my television. I tried different channels and I 
don't see subtitles. I do see key T works. It changes from CC OFF to CC1 and 
vice versa. I have also tried different subtitles in the mythtv menu but 
didn't work. 

Any ideas? 

Neil 




Please test, and also tell if it DOES work for you so I know that I'm
not the only one who it works for :)

One way to save yourself the typing would be to append those
lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Or use whatever mechanism your distro uses for auto-loading modules 
(i.e. /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modules.d/* or ...).  Check the 
docs/fora/mailing lists for your distro for more info.


BTW, you only have to do depmod after you change the modules (i.e. add a 
new module, but that's usually taken care of by the packaging mechanism) 
or mod{ules,probe}.conf, so you shouldn't need to do it every time you 
boot (besides, most distros include a depmod somewhere in the init 
scripts just in case, so forcing it to do another would be a complete 
waste).

Good.  The module ivtv loads and then loads the other modules it requires.

Nope.


how do i change the order in which the modules load ?


You can't if you're loading ivtv correctly (i.e. all you should do is 
"modprobe ivtv" and the rest will be done for you).  Of course, as 
described above, you don't need to...

bummer, sounds like your mplayer is not compiled with the right options.
I use gentoo, so i compile mplayer with pretty near every  available

I dunno where you got your mplayer from, but i suspect they didn't
compile whatever options are required.

try the mplayer support channels.

That functionality is included in later versions of Myth.

Re: [mythtv-users] Frontends can't find database, can't connect

[Michael Jones]

Here's my my.cnf file..


[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
set-variable = key_buffer = 16M
set-variable = table_cache = 128
set-variable = sort_buffer = 2M
set-variable = myisam_sort_buffer_size = 8M

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid


I haven't had time to check the options within the database yet..

But..  Is there anything that should be here that isn't?

Re: [mythtv-users] OT: FedoraCore3 + NFS + XFS + Software Raid = EIP?

All the rpms you need for getting XFS running on CentOS 4.0 are located
in the centosplus repository.

Another place to look is bind_address in my.cnf. If the server is only 
listening on localhost then it'll never hear the network clients. 
Change it to your server's IP number.

[mythtv-users] Can I setup a 'wish list' keyword?

[George Styles]

Hi,

Im using quite an old version of MythTV (just before the big DVB
patch, as I want to be able to record radio from DVB).

I dont use the mythfrontend at all, instead I use mythweb to schedule
shows, and a custom script to rip them out as mp3/divx/mpeg.

Is there any way to tell MythTV to record all shows (even those not
yet in the listings) containing a given keyword (eg everything that
has "Open University" in the title?

If so, i assume I would need to either delve into mythfrontend, or
insert the SQL manually to do so.

If this is possible, would the programs show up in the scheduled
recordings listings in mythweb?

thanks

George

Make sure you /etc/mysql/my.cnf file does not have skip-networking set
as an option or it will disable any network access no matter what your
database has for permissions.

On kubuntu mysql had the skip-networking setting turned on in
/etc/mysql/my.cnf and I was  getting this kind of error.  Perhaps
Fedora Core 3 had the same defaults.  Once I commented that out this
error went away.

Thanks for the response.  I looked deeper into the id3tag.h include
file and did indeed find that the functions indicated were not there. 
Upon further review I found a new version of libid3tag that had these
functions included.  Then everything compiled ok.

[mythtv-users] ERROR - Could not find dvb tuning parameters for transport 0

[Ted Healey]

I can't get my pchdtv3000 to work with Myth: I am not sure how to set
up the channels properly (I think). i can capture hidef video with
both the dvb and atsc drivers, so the card works.

When I start the backend I get

2005-07-01 08:57:53.353 DVB#0 DVB SI Table Parser Started
2005-07-01 08:57:53.354 DVB#0 Using DVB card 0, with frontend pcHDTV

parameters for transport 0
2005-07-01 08:57:53.359 DVB#0 ERROR - Failed to get channel options
for channel 4_1.

In mythtv-setup, I've mapped my /dev/video32 to the OTA lineup i set
up in zaptoit. In the channel setup, I run the Scan and it seems to
find the right channels. I set the input to US BCAST. I tried changing
the 4_1 above to 41 (and back). In my database I have:

I have looked in the pchdtv forums, gossamer, etc... this seems to
just work for most people, any urls that explain how to do this that i
might not have stumbled across yet would be appreciated.

Huh - I had the same problem.  I tried to 
specify cardtype=1, tuner=47 (plus some others) 
with no luck.  

I just ended up going out and buying a pvr150.
Not a bad deal at Circuit City for $60 AR.

Now I have 2 250's waiting to get into a slave backend.
Hopefully the system will recognize thm as such, 
but I'm guessing I'm going to have the same problem.

If you get it working, let us know!

After thinking about it, remove the card and remove 
ivtv (plus the associated ivtv stuff).  Then put the card 
back in and do another apt-get and see if that 
fixes it.

It looks like R5A12 used MythTV 0.17. What you're reporting a known
bug that was fixed way back in April. I suggest you upgrade to 0.18.1
if you want this fixed. Plus, 0.18 fixed a lot of DVB related bugs so
it's probably worth your time upgrading.

In future please only reports bugs that you've verified are still
relevant with the latest release (or even better, latest CVS / SVN).

I did not specify libmpeg2 on the configure command line, so I guess I

It's a setup option, not a compile-time option.

Use libmpeg2 for decoding

If enabled, libmpeg2 will be used instead of ffmpeg for decoding MPEG-1 
and MPEG-2 video frames.  This can be faster.

[mythtv-users] MCE cards

[flim]

I'm having a thick moment...  Can anyone tell me the difference between a  
PVRx50 and a PVRx50MCE?  I've assumed it's just the software on the CD,  
but are there any implications for Myth before I dive in?


Cheers,


flim.

Re: [mythtv-users] Differences between PVR-150 & PVR-250

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

Thatr is 100% wrong.  The MCE doesn't come with that
stuff.  I jut bought a 150 a Circuit Ctiy - has the new remote 
and an IR receiver WITH an integrated IR blaster - 
Pretty cool.  I'm not sure if the IR blaster works, 
but it's  a nice touch.

errr yes, I see what you mean. I still have more to learn about myth's
architecture - it seems that the frontend's settings like theme, etc are
all stored on the master backend. Logical when you think about ti.

How very strange.

My /etc/localtime was a copy of /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB, even the
checksums where the same, but by linking it to /etc/localtime and
restarting (as you suggested) the problem has gone away. Making me
very happy, and about to add +100 to the WAF.

Thank you very much for finding this problem.
Why it does that I can't even begin to imagine.

I have a PVR-150 card also, and it came with a remote, an IR reciever

According to the Hauppauge homepage, MCE cards are the ones without
all of that stuff (but with radio input). The same goes for PVR-250 /

bummer, sounds like your mplayer is not compiled with the right options.
I use gentoo, so i compile mplayer with pretty near every  available
option, which includes lots of codecs. 

I dunno where you got your mplayer from, but i suspect they didn't
compile whatever options are required.

try the mplayer support channels.

Its a pretty basic legal principle that that letter does not affect

Just out of interest I tried to register, the license is shown before
you can fill out the form. It is clear that you cannot assign or
transfer the license. Therefore IMHO you cannot register a box for the
service then sell the box with a registration.

However there seems to be nothing stopping you from selling a machine
that is compatible with zap2it.com's listings, and let the user register
it.

And its hard to know how you could do so without subverting the freedom
inherent in the internet and free software. Its a service that you
subscribe to, but otherwise relies on http & xml. And heaven help us if
we are ever prevented from using those standards!

You can try mysqlaccess mythtv to see what access mythtv has or

to access the service?

Nobody is talking about you accessing the service. The commercial part
comes when a company sells Myth boxes with a promise of program data
without monthly fees. It's not exactly copying and reselling
labs.zap2it data, but it's pretty close.

A PVR is pretty much worthless without program data (note, this is
only about the TV recording capabilities of Myth, not the
music/video/weather/etc features). If I start selling Myth boxes (or
worse, closed and rebranded Myth boxes) with the understanding, either
implicit or explicit, that the program data is free, then I am
defrauding the customer because I have no control over the data and
cannot gurantee its availability, and violating the agreement with
zap2it because I don't have the right to use their data for commercial
purposes.

It's not about reselling zap2it's free service, which would get you
hot water very quickly. It's about using zap2it's free service as a
selling point for a decidedly commercial venture -- selling hardware
that runs MythTV (or a closed, rebranded MythTV that violates the
GPL).

That is why your HO is 100% wrong.

We here are very fortunate to have zap2it provide listings for us for
free -- without program data there would be far fewer people using
Myth, and far less development at a much slower pace. We would like to
continue to recieve zap2it data, and therefore do not like it when
people do things that threaten this service (let alone when they try
to rip the GPL out of Myth).

We are also very fortunate to have a commercial venture called LxM
which provides listings and other value-added services for MythTV for
a very reasonable price, and which respects the open foundation upon
which MythTV was built, as well as expressly giving back to the
further development of the project.

The moral of the story is that if you sell Myth boxes, it is a
commercial venture. If it is a commercial venture the seller cannot
give away zap2it's data, but can and should steer the customer to LxM,
which also provides data. This also means that the commercial venture
contributes back to community at least indirectly through LxM
subscriptions, and hopefully directly, since anyone selling them
surely has some ideas how to improve Myth and the time to do so,
especially because working with Myth would be a full-time job.

Get it?
