Not heard of that one before. Is that error on the remote frontend box or the main box? About the only stuff not stored in the mysql database is the small file that tells the frontend where to find the backend, including the mysql username and password (by default mythtv:mythtv). This is stored in a file that is in the home dorectory of the user who is running the front end, so make sure that you are using the same user each time on the front end. (or make sure each fron tend user has the right info). Sorry i cannot recall exactly where this is stored off the top of my head, its something like ~/.mythtv/ The mythtv-user mailing list is quite good, albeit high volume. They have a good searchable archive, and someone even wrote a fireflox search plugin for it recently. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?list=mythtv > I'm running debian > unstable. I also suspect the P3 won't have the balls to do the job.

MrGeek has a good one that covers sky digital or the terrestial channels, but sometimes it just stops working for days at a time.
