(This is a continuation of the 'MythTV and TV' thread I started, except
that it has moved more from config to debugging... so I figured I'd
rename it and post detailed data again.)
I am using a Hauppage WinTV card - see below - and having some problems
with tuning and changing channels. The

Sounds like you have not fully followed the instructions. The fact that
your hardware works with xawtv strongly implies that the kernel+module

Glancing over your logs, it looks ok. What kind of signal are you
using? analog cable TV, digital cable TV, Satellite, Rooftop
Antenna..?
Broadcast antenna... Is it possible that MythTV is setting the card for
Composite rather than antenna in? Any way to test / log

When you run mythtv-setup from the backend, you should be able to set

My setup is as follows:

No front end. It's a backroom file server. No monitor or keyboard.
How is your current setup different from the one you have been using
successfully for about a year?

I have a problem when trying to play music CDs.
First off, I am using KnoppMyth... Pretty much stock; I have not made
any changes except to LIRC.
When I try to play a CD, most of the time mythtv crashes.
Basically the GUI disappears, leaving the bare desktop still running X,

I have all my movies on a central server which runs mysql and the
myth-backend.
Sometime in the installation process, the backend decided to put a
nfslockfile.lock in my movies directory. This is a minor nit, except
that I want my movies to be mounted read-only, and the backend won't
start
No, the master backend does this when it starts up. How can you expect
your backend to record stuff if you have the storage dir mounted
read-only?
Well, only the movies recorded off-line (outside of mythtv) are on that
filesystem. So it makes sense to me to have it mounted

Is there a TV tuner that works with MythTV+firewire? I'm using an
all-in-one box with no expansion slots. I have USB 1.1 and firewire
available.
From what I understand USB 1.1 is too slow for decent TV input, but I
haven't been able to find anyone who has a firewire TV tuner

OK, I have MythTV pretty much set up That was easy!
I have one issue - and I know I am missing something very basic.
I have about a hundred movies stored as AVIs. MythTV has created the
point-and-click page for them. They play just fine. But
There are no icons; just squares.
I am guessing that somewhere I have to tell MythTV what title to
search for, and to explicitly tell it to populate the information
But where?
Utilities/Setup and then Video Manager?
