Attention: I AM A NEEBEE !!!

Hello,

soory about my poor english.
I live in Germany.

I have downloaded the ISO of "KnoppMyth R5"
Install was OK

i have following Hardware:

AMD Athlon 700 MHz (SlotA)
Asus KV7 (Mainboard)
256 MB RAM
ELSA Erazor X (32MB VGA Card)
Intel 100 Pro (NIC)
TechniSat SkyStar 2 (Hardware rev. 2.6D)
with B2C2 ChipsSet
Sound Blaster 16 SoundCard with ES1317 ChipSet


The SoundCard i must configure via "alsa-setup"
at the first boottime the alsa but errors out to the display
if i change the config it was OK !


I am new in MythTV.
I have some Problems with the Configuration.

But i can´t find some TV Channnels !

I tryed the Following Configuration:




How must i Configure the DVB (TechniSat SkyStar 2)
so scan and find TV Channel´s ?

The "skystar2" module is loaded, if ich check this
with lsmod.
Witch device files i must found in /dev
for this DVB Card ? Or must i create some devices files
for that card ?
If i must create the device files, please tell me how !


Thanks to my friend markus, i tryed my dvb-card
on this windows pc (windows xp)
the card is OK, it runs under windows !!!


Thanks
bye

dennis

Hi Dennis.

1) I am not familiar with that card, but its driver look like they have loaded. You should not need to create anything in /dev, the driver should use /dev/dvb/adapter0/*

2) If the drivers are working correctly, the setup program will list the card type when you add a DVB Capture Card

3) If you are using R5A10, its version of MythTV has an automatic DVB scan function. In the setup program, after you have added your Capture Card and Video Source, you should be able to use the Scan functions in the Channel Editor.

Yes i am using KnoppMyth R5 Alpha 10


i found a Info that the Module: stv0299
must be loaded !

but i help not 100 % but 50 %
in the config is after loading the "stv0299"

the info "can´t open card" or somthing, is goning away
but the channel scan no not work correctly

i can see that found some channels, but
at the end the outpot is like

you must use: mythfilldatabase --manual

but this is not coming to the end .... a loop i think !?

i found some info in the logfiles:

You _MUST_ run 'mythfilldatabase --manual the first time, instead
of just 'mythfilldatabase'. Your grabber does not provide
channel numbers, so you have to set them manually.
