I still need help with this. Even a pointer as to where to go from here would be appreciated.

Date: Wed, 02 May 2007 14:25:32 -0500 Sorry for the long delay (2 months!) in replying. Again life got busy. I tried the script as requested and got the same result. I even went so far as to download KnoppixMyth and install that on the drive from scratch. While it added a lot of extra stuff I didn't need (or want) it did show me that the problem still existed even through the install off the KnoppixMtyh CD. Where do I go from here to fix this issue and get my MythTV box working correctly? --- Below is the message that was last posted to me for reference --- On Tue, 6 Mar 2007, Timothy Chartier wrote: > I downloaded and tried to run the timed-copy program however while my bash scripting is fairly decent my peal leaves a lot to be desired. Hence I was unable to figure out how to specify how to get it to change STDIN to be /dev/video0. There doesn't appear to be a command line option for that that I can see in the script. Have I missed something obvious? I did find the -useage option (via looking at the source) but nothing there about pulling from /dev/video0 either. Can you point me in the right direction? > I don't know if this makes a difference but I read somewhere about motherboard compatibility issues. I am running an Athalon XP 3000+ with and MSI K7N2GM2-LSR motherboard. This has a nForce2 chipset.
