| Post subject: | No live tv or recording on monitor |
I installed R4V2 and my 1GHz Athlon system with a PVR-350 and have not been able to get any tv to show live or to record on my system. I've tried a bunch of help from other peoples posts, but haven't been able to get it working. Everything else in MythTV is working except when I go to watch live tv I just get a black screen. --Ryan |

Do you have program information in the program guide when you schedule a recording? If I remember correctly, if mythfilldatabase did not run the first time, you would experience the problems you are stating. |

The database is full. I can schedule recordings and see what's on. I just can't watch it or record it. --Ryan |

Have you looked in the log? Have you started the frontend from an xterm, tried to watcha recording then quit to see the output? |

There is no maigc solution for this as far as I'm aware. I've posted suggestions in the past, change PCI slot, assign IRQ, etc. |

Simple question. How should the PVR-350 be set up if it is the only card in PCI slot 1? Will it be /dev/video0 or /dev/video? What should the other settings be? Also Which input should be tied to the channels? Composite 0, Composite 1, Composite 2, Compostie 3, Tuner 0, Composite 4, S-Video 0, S-Video 1, S-Video 2, S-Video 3. I have the calbe tv plugged into the CO-AX input on the TV input on the PVR-350. I'm wondering if I am doing something stupid in the configuration. --Ryan |

/dev/video0 and /dev/video are one and the same. Coax is Tuner. You don't have a motherboard w/ a Via chipset do you?! |

Some Via chipsets are problematic w/ ivtv. You however have a greater problem. There is no database... Did you allow the scripts to finish after installing and rebooting? |

Well I reinstalled knoppmyth on my nvdia chipset board and now it seems to be working. But my computer still freezes up. It freezes while recording a show without watching anything. This is the log output. Code: QSettings: error creating /.qt
QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings: error creating /.qt QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty Also my tv schedule is an hour off. How can this be fixed? --Ryan |

those errors are not your problem. they are normal. you can change the time by running Knoppmyth-tz as root. |
