MythTV
From Amahi Wiki
Tips on using the MythTV Backend app:
- Useful to run it as mythtvsetup --geometry 1024x720 so that you can see the messages in the launch window in the background (assuming your screen is larger than 1024x720)
- When connecting a source to an input (e.g. comcast to an HDHomeRun in my case), fetch channels from listing source only works *after* scanning for channels first
- The database is mythconverg and the user and password are both mythtv
- You have to explicitly tell Myth to add digital channels to the DB since they're almost always unusable without a scan
- Comcast seems to be rolling out SCTE channels
- I recommend reading (the /entire/ thread at): http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/382657#382657
- Also http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Comcast_Users_And_scte65scan
- This setup seems to be needed for F12
- at line 21 posix_uname has to be changed to php_uname in file /var/hda/web-apps/mythtv/html/includes/defines.php

- In Mythsetup
- On page 3 (Miscellaneous Settings) of option 1 ensure 'Master Backend Override' is enabled (toggled)
