Post subject: | Pinnacle 800i won't run live TV |
Hello, New to LinHES, but used Mythbuntu for years. Really loved that my 800i was pretty plug and play, but it's been so long since I've set it up, I don't know what I'm doing wrong or if something else is broken. I've installed Mythbuntu 16.04 and LinHES R8.5.2 and keep getting the same issue: I can scan for channels, get the OTA ones available in my area, but when I go to watch TV, the card won't open. I used "lspci -vvnn" and everything looks normal except the "capabilities" section is <not authorized> or similar. I keep playing with settings, but can't actually watch TV. I'm a bit at a loss. Is there a setup tutorial with screenshots somewhere? Thanks. |

stupid question: will it record a scheduled show? You only mentioned Live TV. |

Not stupid at all. It won't run an EIT crawl either, so I can't test it very easily. I'll check when I get home. I did manage to get live TV working, I have no idea how. Without the EIT as well, it doesn't do me much good. |

Are you located in the USA? If you use Schedules Direct you don't "need" the EIT scan. I had a card once (may have been a pinnacle) where I had to adjust the timeout on channel lock. I can't remember where that was exactly but It was in the mythtv-setup in the tuning card settings. Not sure if that might help |

Still doesn't fix anything. I don't have internet access. I'll go looking for an old iteration of something and hope it works. MythBuntu was plug-and-play three or four years ago... |
