Well I installed Knoppix Myth R5A26 onto a Compaq SFF 866Mhz PIII. It picked up the video card (Intel 815) and ALSA sound no problem. The installation form the .ISO cd went without a problem. I am at the main KnoppixMyth window with all the big blue circles. I try to watch Live TV and it says all available inputs are being used. I have to delete a recording? from the menu. What I need to do is setup KnoppixMyth TV to use Channel 8 as the default channel (almost everyone else uses channel 3 as their default channel) Why do I have to use Channel 8 as my main channel? Because I am on the Bell ExpressVu for Condos that uses VDSL. On this system, I can setup a maximum of 3 TVs or VCRs etc. Currently I am using only 2. Channel 3 is being used by my living room TV. Channel 8 was being used by my Windows MPEG-TV card. Another channel 13 is available. I set my VCR to channel 8, and all 400 digital channels are available to the Windows MPEG tv card. So I figure, I disconnect the coax off the Windows TV-MPEG card and connect it to the Hauppage PVR-250 card. Everything boots up fine, but I dont see any video anywhere. Not even sure how to set Knoppix MythTV to use channel 8 as the PRIMARY channel. Just pretend it is your home system that uses channel 3. I just have to use channel 8 because it is VDSL. ******* I think I am supposed to treat the Knoppix Myth as a fancy VCR? Am I able to watch TV as I record it? I hope so, otherwise how can I know what I am recording? ******* |

So for now I pulled the coax cable from the Knoppix Myth and put it back on the VCR set to use channel 8, and went back to using the Windows MPEG-TV card. Obviously I want to get the Knoppix Myth as my primary television viewing and recording device. (much like my Windows MPEG-TV card does now) However, not sure if this is possible. |

First, it is KnoppMyth. Second, KnoppMyth > Installation is for issues related to installing KnoppMyth. Third, you need to read the MythTV docs. Fourth, search search the forum. Fifth, search the MythTV archives. |

Hi teddymills, You know how to hurt cesman huh? Quote: Knoppix Myth bad.
After you read the docs at mythtv.org, I would suggest trying to make a channel 8 using the channel editor in mythtv-setup and set it for your default setting under the input connections. Kind of a strange setup, and this will cause you grief recording. Also suggest posting maybe in general for any more followup. Mike |
