Mythtv major problem


Ok, I have installed mythtv, and it went fine, i think.

My problem is now how to get it working.

Anyone having a guide i can read specifically for debian?

Well my first question is, do i have to configure it as root or as user?

Whenever i run the setup, and it begins getting the channels list, it saves it under /root/.mythtv/xxx.xmltv. But when i launch mythbackend it looks in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/xxx.xmltv. How do i changes thes locations?

these are some of the error messages:

araldit@settop:~$ mythbackend
Starting up as the master server.
2004-06-10 17:37:28 CheckChannel failed. Please verify channel "3" in the "setup" Channel Editor.
TV is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput.

Be sure that '/home/araldit/recordings' exists and that both
the directory and that file are writeble by this user.

2004-06-10 17:38:39 exited with status 3328


Anyone have a clue?

did you try reading: http://mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall
Should explain everything you need to know

Also read your error messages..

Use chmod and/or chown so the directory and file are writable by your user
