Hopefully someone can help everwhere else is coming up blank...
Currently I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and have TVHeadend 2.12 installed. I've also
followed the direction posted in a thread over at SiliconDust to get a Linux DVB
Driver installed so that TVHeadend recognizes the device(s) on the network.
I'm in the Northeast United States, and I have a cable signal coming into the
house. On my TVs I get some 77 analog stations (I understand the HDHomeRun WILL
NOT pick those up), and about 22 unencrylted digital signals. The digital
signals are QAM256. Within the Windows software, I am able to tune the channels
in the native HDHomerun software, and also using Team MedialPortal's TV Server.
Actually, I have a Windows XP Virtual PC running on the above Ubuntu server and
I'm able to serve up the TV signals using that, however I'd like to get rid of
the virtual machine is use a native Linux TV server. TVHeadend is my first
choice...
Anyway, within TVHeadend, I DO see the tuners under TV Adapters. I add an
appropriate DVB Network and let TVHeadend scan. It finds a bunch of muxes
(somewhere in the 124 range which I assume is audio and video) When that's
complete, I go back to the General tab and try to Map DVB services to channels.
At this point, it only maps TWO of the channels. At that point I'm stuck and
I'm not sure what to do.
I'm trying to use TVHeadend with the PVR Branch of XBMC. I can't seem to
connect to TVHeadend from XBMC. I've tried adding users within the access
control tab, however whenever I do anything there, I get a transaction aborted
message. It appears that the changes take however, but the message makes me
think I have some sort of permissions issue and maybe that's impacting the
functionality elsewhere.
If there are any ideas I'd like to hear them... I'm not great with Linux, but
I'm able to struggle through most tasks. Much appreciated for any help...
Thanks...
