Hardware: Dell Dimension 8300 MoBo in 4550 Case (nice and quiet) Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHZ 1 GB PC2700 WD 250GB (IDE) (2) HD-3000 Nvidia MX440 (w/ TV-out) Soundblaster Live.... Software: Knoppmyth R5A22 Provider: Comcast digital cable (Los Angeles) So I went through a couple installs of Knoppmyth R5A30.2 and couldn't get a channel tuned to save my life. I went back to R5A22, and did the following: Auto-Install w/ the TV flag at boot so I could install w/ the TV-out. The install went smoothly. Mythtv-setup: 1. General - left as default 2. Capture cards: a. Card type DVB, Card number 0, showed up as pcHDTV HD3000 b. Card type DVB, Card number 1 showed up as pcHDTV HD3000 3. Video Sources: Using data direct entered my UID and PSWD got linups, Comcast-CableDigital-Digital-*****-CA*****:X left frequency table as default 4. Input connections: set source to my comcast source, set staring channel to 83#10 (as that had scanned and locked before) 5. edit channels: no action I exited and ran mythfilldatabase, while doing this I ssh'd into the box and installed the HD3000 firmware from the pcHDTV folks into /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware finished mythfilldatabase and rebooted so the new firmware would be loaded. I stopped mythtvbackend then ran mythtv-setup again, made sure all setting were as I left them and then scanned for channels (at this point all my datadirect channels are listed) it only locked on maybe 10 channels mostly 83#1 through 10. I then exited set up restarted the backend and then went into mythfrontend. when I go to live tv I get the initial channel then nothing else, it locks up changing in either direction, and is barely watchable on the one channel I am recieving (constant glitching and drop out). any suggestions? Sorry to be a n00b but I'm just frustrated at this point. Thank you, Slackadmin |
