I am a newbie to MythTV. I am able to watch TV with my MyTV and I have a bttv 878 based
capture card.   My Linux kernel is 2.6.9 with Fedora 3.
I was trying to use MythTV to capture.  I fire up mythfrontend,
went into the recordings screen and try to do the manual recordings.
I have DirecTV so I cannot do any Guide listing or program search.
All I hope to do is schedule a manual recording.

You should be able to get listings for DirecTV--unless you're in a country for which there is no XMLTV grabber ( http://www.xmltv.org/ ). If you're in the US, use DataDirect ( http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.3 ).

I went to that screen but it does not seem to have any "save" menu.
I click on "Set options" and I can see the "Save" option.  But I cannot
click on it as that is not an option I can select.

Because the options displayed are the current options (i.e. would result in no changes).

How can I use MythTV to schedule recordings?

Use LEFT/RIGHT to select the desired option--try using LEFT/RIGHT on all the options you can select to get a feel for the UI.

HTH.
