Hello all,
I still haven't been able to schedule a single recording yet. The computer has come close to exiting via the window, but you know what its like, you keep plugging on...
Anyway, I've even now done a complete new install of mythtv over fedora core 6 ona different computer and guess what- live tv records fine, but scheduled recording are ignored! am I cursed or what?
This is part of the mythbackend log:

and this is the mysql info from the couple of channels I grabbed to make sure it had a database to work from. The channel guide displays the info fine, I'm watching tv via the s-video input via a pvr 350.
mysql> select chanid,channum,freqid,callsign,name from channel;

BBC1 is channum 101 as I changed it to see if it made any difference. Its usually BBCLo.
Does anyone have any pointers as to whats going wrong?

I've tried deleting tv cards inputs etc and setting up again, running mythfrontend as root, altering freqid, channum values, re grabbing. All zilch.

Desperate.

Have you figured this out. I am having the same problem. I did notice on your channel table that the freqid values are NULL. They need to be the same as the channel # I think.
