well to run from xterm you keep hitting esc till it ask you if you want to exit mythtv. You say yes. At that point you will have a purple screen. You click on the screen then click on xterm. This will pop up an xterm. then you run mythfrontend As for the color problems are you talking about everything on the screen or just the osd? |

When you've got color tv, use test_ioctl to see what input the card is set to. Then when you see grey live tv, check again and see if it is different. On my pvr250, input 0 gives me grey tv, input 8 gives me color. |

kt7a, isn't this a Via chipset based board? If so, Via and IvyTV don't play nice all the time...Try a different slot. |

Quote: 3) where is this hue setting that was mentioned? if you hit the F key while playing livetv or watching a recording you can scroll through several options keep hitting F till you get the one you want and change it using the arrow keys. If F doesn't get you an OSD then you need to go into setup general and check the box for use XV color controls. Quote: 4) i heard a rumor that you can watch live tv in one window while scrolling channels in another... is this true?
yes while watching livetv hit the M key and the live show will get small and go the the top right corner and the program guide will be on the botom. Hit M agian to change to the channel you are on or esc to exit without changing channels. |
