Hiyall!

Normally it seems that people have the opposite problem but...

...propably REELLY dumb question...

after fresh install of R5C7 and after completing first setup round with mythtv-setup, i then need to go back to mythtv-setup to run mythfilldatabase, fix some TV-card settings and try to scan for channels...

But when i type in the mythtv-setup command, it tells me that Myhtbackend is running and it is not very good idea to make any changes to channel list and so on...

It seems that i really cannot do anything with the DVB card since it (the card or service) is "buzy"... At least this was told to me by setup program itself and dvbscan program. Setup prg says in the tuners section that it does find the card but it cannot be opened...

How the hell do i stop backend??? Tried the obvious,
/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop
but it tells me that stop is not a valid option and throws me a list of options... Non of them is stop or anything like that... Has there been some changes to R5C7 since i cannot find any other command to do that from here or elswhere??

What is wrong with this? Pls help n00b )=

Did run once the mythtvwelcome script since i was curious. Does this affect this? => fix?

It was probably just a typo in what you entered in your post, but just in case... The command for halting the backend is not what you entered in your post. It is

Hi Marc!

Thanks for your answer, i appriciate it, but it dosent stop anyway...
And i triple checked the spelling. I allso checked the source i took that command i used before:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_MythTV#mythbackend
It says exactly:
/etc/init.d/mythbackend stop
I did a google for "mythbackend shutdown".

Darn. I am stuck to this point as i finally have a DVB card that looks like it could be working... All i need is to go thru the setup to see that...

So to be precise, here what happened:
etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
no sutch file or directory

done this allso as user, as su with sudo...

You keep making scary typos, this time you're missing the leading '/'. Remember computers can't guess what you mean, so you need to get the commands exactly right, and case and punctuation matter. Do this as root:

Your output should be almost identical (the machine name in the command prompts will differ) to this sample session.

BTW - There are directions for doing this on the wiki - http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=GettingBackIntoMytTVsetup

I therefore stand corrected.

Yes, it was, after all, a typo with insufficent knowlege, that was in the first few pages of the Linux guide i read

I promise to be more precise in the future!

I now got to the point where i could try scanning for channels. Witch didn´t work very well... Signal level is ok and scan goes thru the channels but ends up to point where whole list in marked as no signal... I´ll keep trying.

Hmm.

Do you have the right frequency set selected? I'm guessing it should be something like "europe-west" but your guess is probably better than mine.

Also, did you double check your antenna/cable connection to make sure it works with a regular TV?

The cable is actually normally (and right now) connected to Medion PVR420 digital reciever witch works just fine. Never drops a signal.

I did read from MythTV wiki (i recall) that Avermedia DVB-T 761 cards are picky about the signal strenth. The signal is quite strong thow. The antenna and cablings are some 2 years old.

While scanning, i was checking for the cable connection and noticed that it had some "loose-feeling" in the connector and it seemd to have affect on signal meter... But cant be sure about that thow.

The list had 2/3 of "no signal" and rest had "no table" ???

Was thinking to swap back to Hauppauge Nova-T and have it a go once again...
