Jensen, were you able to make any further progress? Regarding the network settings,..

...The LinHES release is 5 years old and the version of mythtv is 4 revisions behind.
You might consider trying to virtualize the latest release on a 64-bit machine if you have one available.

Thank you for your reply...
No I'm at a loss.

I understand that the latest version is going to be the best, however, the basic setup of all the versions must require the same or similar setup details.

So considering I'm supposed to be able to install this in 20 minutes !
I would have thought that this would have been comprehensively covered on the install info page for the latest version, but it's not.

Otherwise, how is anyone new to this, expected to know what they are supposed to do?!

Many thanks

You need fill out the networking section. Select static IP, (as I recall it gives you a default address, and net mask. Us the default.

Without an IP address you won't be able to get anything to work.

I've tried that, and I'm still getting the same error messages.
So it looks like I'll have to use a different distro, as the creators of this one are not being at all helpful.

It sounds like you've completed the LinHES installation portion of your project, and now your working your way thru the MythTV configuration.

Q: So are there any setup details online?

I would suggest that you check out this link for information on how to setup and configure the MythTV portion of your install. That should help.
Also https://www.mythtv.org/wiki is an excellent source of information on MythTV.
