The screen that shows the error 'myth could not connect to database'
has MySQL listed as the database where as ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt has QMYSQL3.
Haven't figure out how to change it yet.
Database software is: MySQL-shared-4.11-1.i686.rpm libqt3-mysql-3.3.3-26mdk10.1.thac.i586.rpm
I've used Linux since 98. I am a USER with some technical knowledge. I do not know diddly about databases. I have Dish Network. Signal goes from satillite box to 'vcr/dvd' then to TV and computer via a splitter. The PVR 350 has TV out but I haven't been able to get it working. (Reason for splitter) Eventually I want to run direct to computer from satillite box then to 'vcr/dvd' then TV. (I think.)
Can someone help get mythtv up and running?

When you installed the database did you go into mysql and set permissions on it?
Something like:
mysql -u root > grant all on mythconverg.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by mythtv; <some server output> >quit
should do.
Also your DBHost name is not [EMAIL PROTECTED] its just localhost :) uppon further reflection I bet that's it. Its trying to connecto to some machine called [EMAIL PROTECTED] and login as don.
