I installed R5F27 but didn't select Schedule Direct since I had not signed up yet for the service. Once I got a picture and sound with Watch TV, I went out to the Schedule Direct website and created an account. Is there anything other than MythTV setup --> "Video Sources" which needs to be configured now? I set Listing Grabber to be "North America (ScheduleDirect.org) (internal)", entered my UserID and password, but when I do a "Retrieve Lineups", I see a window flash for a moment then nothing.

If you run mythtv-setup from an xterm, you can <alt><tab> and get more info...

I'm away from the box now but I did grab a copy of the results:

Appears you aren't able to resolve names. Is your network card functioning? What does your /etc/resolv.conf look like?

Network card is working (able to ping IP addresses). /etc/resolv.conf contains a single line

Do you have a DNS server on your network at 192.168.1.1? My guess is that you can't ping names (ping www.yahoo.com for example)

You'll need to add your ISP's name servers to /etc/resolv.conf.

192.168.1.1 is my Linksys router between me and a cable modem. You are correct that I am unable to resolve names. Just looked at the results from ifconfig and I don't think the Bcast value is correct but I'm not sure how to change it.

Are you using DHCP? If so, I would say your router is giving you incorrect information and you will need to correct that. At this point it would probably be best to rerun netcardconfig -force and get your NIC settings sorted out properly.

I didn't intend to use dhcp but rather specified an IP (and such) but I'm concerned that it is really hosed up. Somehow my whole home network just came to a screeching halt and only once I turned off my knoppmyth box was I able to function again. I'll give the network config another go.

Update:

[d'oh]
Thought so, entered my router (192.168.1.1) ip when asked for broadcast address during initial install.
[/d'oh]

Thanks for your help!

Ouch! Glad you got it figured out.

Sorry to resurrect this thread. I am having the same issue. When you say "during intial setup", do you mean inital upgrade/install of Knoppmyth, or mythtv setup, or _____?

From an XTerm as root: netcardconfig -force

This is run during the installation of KnoppMyth.

Hmm.. that command is new to me... It looks like it is going to work, but I am hitting a snag...

My network card is label ath0. The netcardconfig command is trying to configure eth0. Any ideas?

UPDATE

I thought I would post this. 100% dumb, oversite on my part... But, make sure you select a listing at schedulesdirect.org after you sign up....

All is fixed now. Time for sleep (about 5 hours ago...)
