Hey all I've shipped this one out a few times and really could use
some help... I had my myth box up and running quite well and now I
have
moved and switched cable providers... I have a PVR-350 running with
MythTV 0.16 on Slackware 9.1 and Time Warner digital cable as the
source. For the time being I am not putting the digital cable STB in
the equation, I just have a splitter that is separates the Myth box
and Data Direct is giving me only the Cable program guides, not the
full 1000 digital cable ones.
Now for the problem... I went into myth setup and cleared out my
configs (which cleared out the old channel database for me) and re-ran
mythfill database to get everything I needed for the program guide.
The behavior I'm now noticing is that my program guide works as
expected, but that I am getting either very fuzzy channels or complete
static when trying to watch live tv. I have tried going back into
setup and changing the frequency table settings to us-cable, us-bcast,
and us-cable-hrc to no avail... Any thoughts?
Sounds like a signal quality issue. What does the picture look like if
you hook a TV to the signal input you have going into your MythTV box?
What does another progam give you for quality inside your box like xawtv
or tvtime? Poor splitters and cable segments are notorious sources of
signal problems. Try putting the cable directly into your MythTV box
and see if the signal improves. If it does, your splitter or cable
segment after the splitter is a problem.
