I got MythTV working on my Xbox.

I do not know Linux at all but it was not really that difficult to get started.
I grabbed an old P2 400, Put in a WinTV PVR-250 capture card, Installed KnoppMyth and MythTV-XBOX from Dennis Cartier.

I have it working and looking as good if not better then my Tivo, I can watch live TV on my XBOX and use the remote to change channels.
I can also setup season passes.

Here is my problem. My wife just loves it and we are truly considering getting a second Xbox for the bedroom. But she is a weather nut and for some strange reason I cant get the MythWeather to work or Mythnews. They both work perfectly on the backend. Has anyone gotten these two features working and if so what did you do?

Also does anyone know if CallerID works on the Xbox.

Thanks
Bill

I fixed it.

The documentation on http://bit.blkbk.com/ website reads.

/etc/network/interfaces - set for your local IP addresses

But if you set your local IP it does not work. Follow the directions on Ed’s Debian site located here. http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/docs/howtodebian.html

----From his site---
Changing TCP/IP network settings
By default, the IP address of your Linux installation is 192.168.0.2. The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can change these and other important TCP/IP network settings (such as the default gateway) by editing the text file

/etc/network/interfaces
For example, to do this in nanoyou would type

cd /etc/network
nano -wz interfaces

If you would like to configure your Xbox for DHCP (automatically getting the IP address and other TCP/IP networking settings from a DHCP server), ensure that it reads

iface eth0 inet dhcp

there and not
iface eth0 inet static.
The DNS server and your domain name are defined in a file called
/etc/resolv.conf
You can edit this file the same way as described above.


By the way if anyone still knows the answerer to the caller ID question. Please contact me
