Here is what i did that resolved the issue. I think it was something in the database because i had done all these steps (minus deleting the database) several times with no luck. Removing IVTV drivers commenting out all referenct to IVTV in modprobe.conf Deleting the mythconverg database cold boot re-install IVTV un-comment modprobe.conf run modprobe ivtv re-install the mythconverge database starting mythbackend run the myth setup again and mythfilldatabase mythfrontend Hope this helps someone Brad ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Please help! Fedora core 3 PVR150 Myth 0.18 Everything was working fine. My daughter kicked my myth box power strip and when i brought it back up i can no longer watch live tv and recording only records one chanel. When i select "Watch Live TV" I See video for 2 seconds then the video freezes and myth returns me to the main screen. If i schedule a recording it doesnt record the channel i selected instead it records the same channel that i see when trying livetv. I also noticed that i do not see any quide information on the screen like i used to when it was working. I have reset my card settings and redone them afterwords running mythfilldatabase. I have removed and re-installed IVTV drivers using atrpms "at-testing" I get the same result no matter what input i select in the capture card settings in mythtvsetup. IN other words, i can select tuner1 or tuner0 or svideo and i always get the same result/ I see a couple seconds of video then freeze.

[mythtv-users] Could I have damaged my PVR 150 with the IVTV Drivers?
I recently bought a PVR150. I installed the IVTV Drivers and the card seemed to be working. Without cable or antenna hooked up i would get static and static noise. I could pause and rewind the static so i went ahead with the myth install/setup. After a couple of reboots, i wanted to try it once more before moving it to where my TV is and i got 2 seconds of static then it locked up and after a few seconds of staring at a locked up screen, I was returned to a Myth error screen "There was a problem with the video input..." After the error and a reboot i no longer had a "video0" in /dev/ . I reloaded the drivers and got video0 back but the same thing happened when i tested it. I took out the card and put it in a windows XP machine and NO new hardware was detected and nothing in the bios or device manager. my question is - Could i have physically damaged the card by using the "testing" IVTV Drivers? I dont think i have ever seen drivers damage a peice of hardware but is it possible?

[mythtv-users] 2 questions - Running out of disk space and transcoding
Running Myth .17 Athlon xp2200 512mb of ram Hauppauge v4l card 40gb hard drive nvidia gforce 4 1. I keep running out of disk space and am unable to record anything new. Even if i delete ALL recordings, I am still out of space. I must manually delete several .nuv files from my drive. Once deleted, I must stop and start mythbackend in order for myth to see the free space. I have searched the threads and see several discussions about this issue but no fixes that I can understand. I am not a coder and only a Linux beginner. Since i have a 40gb drive i am repeating this process several times a week. anyone have a fix that a newbie could perform? 2. I understand that transcoding helps to save space. I don't understand all the transcoding options. I have tried several variations but dont even know if i am changing the correct settings for my box. Many times after a recording the Hard drive will churn for days until i get sick of waiting and restart it. I have read the How-To's but do not understand the different transcoding options in the setup screens. Can anyone tell me which options i should use for my bttv card and how long a show should take to transcode and how large it should be after transcoding?

[mythtv-users] blurry boot and frontend but clear video playback
Nvidia Gforce 4 generic. Myth 0.17 Athlon xp 2200 Fedora Core 3 512mb of ram I set everything and made sure it was cool using a monitor. Made changes to my xorg.conf as per instructions here: http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#video (which i am very greatful for.) then hooked up my standard 27" analog TV using the composite connection. All screens are blurry. I am running KDE and once logged into KDE it is blurry. So blurry that nothing is readable. I fire up MYTH and it is blurry. Looks HORRIBLE. Once i start watching TV or watching old recordings. the recordings look great. I lowered the resolution and now video will not play. "Error was encountered while displaying video" I also can no longer select a higher resolution. It is not available in the display settings. I am not too worried about the error or the resolution. I am sure I can fix that. Anyone have a fix so that my screen is clear when booting and using KDE or MYTHFrontend? Thanks for all your help so far.

[mythtv-users] mythtvsetup questions
Is there somewhere that details the setup options? I am up and running but only by luck I think. I don't know what all the setup screens are for. The documentation simply says "fill out as you see fit" Well I don;t know what i am filling out or why. I just kept playing with the different options till it started working. Is there any documentation that describes the different config screens and how they interact with each other?
