I setup my DataDirect subscription a couple of months ago, and I am certain I'm using the correct username/pw, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be working. Where exactly do I go again, to check the subscription details? > > Next, you really shouldn't be using Myth to capture from DVD in this > way, as it's not what Myth is meant for.

So it's not that I'm trying to capture DVD per se, it's just my way of testing. > > > Another thing is I have to run alsactl everytime I start Watch TV, it seems > > to reset the volume so I need to run alsactl to restore the settings I want. > > Is there a way to do this automatically? > > How about setting Myth to use ALSA (If you haven't already) instead of > OSS, and setting the volume preferences inside Myth to the right > values. Great... :-) Sorry for the ignorance, I'm still very new to this. How do I configure myth for alsa, and where do I set the volume preferences?
