However, after doing a scan I then have duplicate channels; the ones from the scan and the one's from the Zap2It database. How do I combine the two so I don't have duplicates? Or, is it possible just to get programming info for the digital channels OTA? I'm really confused here on this... My standard process for this has been to perform perform the mythtv-setup steps (Card, Video Sources, Input Connections), then perform the scan for the DVB channels. The next step is to go into each of the channels that the scan found and change the XMLTVID to match the channels from zap2it (I also set the channel format to ATSC, since my default is NTSC (I'm using PVR-250 and the HD-3000), and change the channel numbers (the scan will create a channel 21 for 2-1, I prefer 2-1, since it will better co-reside with my DTV channel 2 on the PVR-250 without confusing me as to which one is the HD channel and without conflicting with my DTV 3-digit channels)). Just hit enter on the channels in mythtv-setup to get to the details. After the channels are set up, then you can run mythfilldatabase and it shouldn't create additional channels since it will match the XMLIDs. 3. This one is minor, but it did stump me for a few minutesso Ifigured I should share. When attemtpting to record content for the first time, I noticed the backend was throwing out permission errors on my /video/recordings directory. Make sure you have created /video/recordings and /video/buffer , and then issue a # chmod a+rwx /video/recordings and # chmod a+rwx /video/buffer so that MythTV can write files to the directories. Last question I really want to use my PVR-500 with the two HD-3000's. But last time I installed the ivtv drivers it broke the DVB drivers. Anyone else able to share their steps to success with the two cards? I didn't have any problems with supporting both my PVR-250 and the HD-3000 (not sure if the newer PVR-500 / 150 require different drivers). Finally, I have created my own installation guide (I consider it my personalized addendum to Jarod's guide (it is designed to be used in conjunction with his guide geared to my specific installation). But it does have what I did to get HD-3000 setup (and the HD channels setup) as well as things like the yum-specific instructions for 'pinning' urw-fonts. The document is available at (http://www.thelepperts.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=PmWiki.InstallGuide). It is still being updated for FC4 (I just performed my first FC4 install) and I just put it online (it's helpful for me to have it there, I wasn't intending on making it public yet, but since you asked some related questions...). Additionally I just started playing with pmwiki based on a separate thread Isaac had started, so be kind to the pages. There are also some other pages about issues I have run into in the past and what I did to resolve them and my HiDef performance information for mythtv. If the pages are helpful, let me know... phlepper-- I hear and I forget. I see and I remember.

Thanks for the response! This helps me understand the function of those rules files better, and should make the fix permananent.

Last question I really want to use my PVR-500 with the two HD-3000's. But last time I installed the ivtv drivers it broke the DVB drivers. Anyone else able to share their steps to success with the two cards? This is fun (?) I just had a similar problem with a PVR-150 and a HD-3000. Turns out that the latest drivers that come with the atrpm-ivtv packages don't like playing with the HD3000. So, I removed all of the atrpm-ivtv packages, went to the ivtv website and downloaded the older 0.37a version (which, from my research, seemed to be the last version to work correctly with the 3000). After installing the older ivtv drivers and rebooting, my PVR-150 and HD-3000 now co-exist peacefully :) Mark ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

The only conflict is tveeprom; I deleted the ivtv version of tveeprom and use the kernel version for both. I have a Gentoo system so everything is compiled from sources in their portage tree.

RE: [mythtv-users] FC4 and HD-3000 - my steps to success... and a couple questions.
1. When attempting to configure my capture cards in mythtvsetup, I would get Could not open card #0 and Permission denied errors in the capture card settings. What I eventually figured out was that the mythtv user did not have permissions to access the DVB devices. I found a hint on the pcHDTV forums that suggested I edit *50-udev.rules* file located in * etc/udev/rules.d/* . Assuming your myth username is mythtv, add * GROUP=mythtv* to the last line of the file so that the line looks like this: *KERNEL==dvb*, PROGRAM==/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k, NAME=%c, GROUP=mythtv* Then reboot. This should give permission to the mythtv user to access the DVB devices. You should see the card name listed with the type ATSC. HOWEVER, after running a yum update again, it removed the changes, and I had to go back in and edit the file again. Anyone else know a better fix for the above issue, or how to make my fix permanent? Don't put customizations in the 50-udev.rules file. Take your entire line starting with KERNEL= and put it in a separate file called 10-mythtv.rules in the same directory. Udev reads the files in alpha-numeric order and will stop when it finds a match in your new file.
