Myth TV and Yousee finally up and running

Got Myth TV and and Yousee (Copenhagen) to play together with HDHomeRun.

Multiplex info can be found in the dtv_multiplex spreadsheet (you can upload it to the mysql database).

If you would like to run Mythtv frontend in a window then from a Term run:

mythfrontend -w -geometry 960x600

This will also help debugging as the fronted write debug info to the console.

I also recommend to manually stop the back end before running mythtv-setup:

sudo service stop mythtv-backend
mythtv-setup
sudo service start mythtv-backend
mythfilldatabase 

And finally… if mythtv-backend have problems connecting to the database then grant  access to mythtv on mythconverg scheama in the database:

?> mysql --user=root -p
Enter password:

A very good source for setting up MythTV is MythTV-HOWTO – 0.26: section 9
