Is this the right forum for this post?

Anyways, my tv listings are wrong. When i go to a channel it says the correct channel but the wrong information. (example, under program it said that 70's show but it wasn't that 70's show)

How do i fix this?

Is the time on your machine correct? If it is a few hours out (e.g. wrong time zone), it might be 'That 70s show' is on in a few hours, or was on a few hours ago.

Or maybe the guide information hasn't been inserted into the right channel. e.g. the xmltv id data for ABC is attached to CNN..

you might try one of the following :

tzconfig - time zone tool
date - manually set the time
ntpdate - ntp server time sit
ntpd - keep in sync with an ntpserver

If you find you can't sort out why the time shift is going on you can override the tv_grab_au time shift

/usr/bin/tv_grab_au
aprox line 720

Ok i found out the timezone was wrong. I changed it to pacific.

When i type "date" it displays the incorrect time. How do i change that? I tried typing in the correct time but it didn't work.

when i type "date -u" i get:
Wed Apr 26 09:35:55 UTC 2006

The time is correct but the timezone is wrong.

When i type "date" i get:
Wed Apr 26 02:35:55 PDT 2006

The time is incorrect but the time zone is correct.

Thanks for the help

I got the time to the correct time now.

The tv shows are still listed incorrectly though. (on kqed it says sesame street is on but its some cooking show instead)

Any other ideas?

I believe you will need to run mythfilldatabase again to get the correct listings .

I tried doing that it still doesn't work. I am about to give up and try reformatting it. I have no idea what is wrong with it.

Thanks for the help,

You need to restart the servers and purge the old data first. See these directions on the wiki - http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=ProgramGuideIsOff

Thanks for the link TJC. I tried following them it worked up until i got this error.



Also i hate having to restart my computer everytime I want the program mythtv to be on after doign somethign in the terminal. Is there an easy way to launch the program mythtv from terminal? I tried "mythtv" but it only gave me live tv.

Thanks for all the help

thanks. That makes my life a little bit easier.

Does anyoen know what hta error means?

The error means mythtv-setup can't find the X environment (ie GUI desktop). Either

1) It isn't running? then I think
will restart it
2) You're doing this from an ssh terminal instead of locally on the box (console or xterm). In which case you should run mythtv-setup locally

That didn't work i get the same error.

I think i am just going to reinstall everything.

thanks anyways,
Hans

Is mythtv running ?

( I'm assuming that you are working on the console of your mythtv box )




You may need to force the epg date to be overwriten

Thanks chrisj. That did it. Now my program files are synched.

The only problem is now my remote isn't working.

I just ordered a new video card for my system. Will i have to reinstall everything to get that videocard to work? I would hate to go through all this configuration again.
