ok. I'm seeing I can use VLC with IPTV services as well and that's all set up. I'll try getting freetuxtv installed on my mythbuntu 18.04 box but if it messes things up and uninstall doesn't work...

I've been using Mythbuntu for decades but see that it has been discontinued (I'm using the 2018 release) and the website doesn't exist now. I also see that there are now software packages on Ubuntu...

I marked it solved.

I should mention should anybody else come across this post that my computer gave me a bit of trouble just using the command:


sudo efibootmgr -o XXXX,XXXX

Before reboot...

I didn't know about that but those commands worked-thanks!!

ok-I'll look at TV fool forums. I liked your comments on the various antennas though and didn't realize rabbit ears were still used for HDTV till u mentioned it. I have one of these coaxial...

I got my HD HomeRun 5 tuner box yesterday and setting it up with mythbuntu once it was on my network was easy in the backend settings. Here's the default settings that were picked for me:

I've seen it always prompt me in settings if I have an HD home run device. I guess I just pick that this time. I'll find out soon if it's that easy.

That diagram was also on the Amazon page (2nd image) and is what made me wonder how Mythbuntu will see eth0 (or enp2s3 on this pc) as a tuner source? Do I need to create a symbolic link from eth0 to...

So I got this HD Home Run (HDHR5-2US):

Your router plugs right into this (pictured) and then u can have...

I didn't know they had manufactured tuner boxes and I like the Silicon Dust ones. I just bought the SiliconDust HDHomeRun Connect Duo 2-Tuner LiveTV for Cord Cutters (HDHR5-2US) and hopefully this...

Cool thanks! I think some tech within last 5-6 years would work nicely with 2018 TV waves. Thanks and USB tuners will work with my old pc. I probably have USB 2.0 ports-are those fast enough for...

Thanks for the quick response! I was thinking tuner cards now are probably better than ones in 2003 but I wanted confirmation before I start buying a newer one that works with Linux. Over the years...

I've been using Mythbuntu on old computers for about 15 years. During all that time I've been using 2 Pinnacle PCI analog/digital tuner cards:

Got it working. I used the isorespin script available to get XUbuntu 16.04.5 installed on my Apollo Lake mini pc. I found it here and this seems to be the newest revision as an older isorespin...

I have an Apollo Lake Mini PC and am having trouble getting mythbuntu installed on it with the iso. Apparently I have to use a script called isorespin.sh to get Ubuntu flavoured iso files to work...

got it working on the frontend. MythTV does work on laptops without special video cards. The settings get saved in your home directory under 2 directories being .mythtv and .mythbuntu. Rename or...

Here's some screenshots from the backend that may help u see my settings:

This is what I see in my frontend terminal:

I ran mythfrontend from the terminal and got some info that is helpful. The problem is a connection problem to the backend and not a video problem. This is one of the errors I see:

A couple weeks ago I did a fresh install of the 64 bit version of mythbuntu 16.04.5 on an old Samsung R540 laptop. I just installed the frontend software on this laptop since my backend/frontend...

Looks like upgrading my PVR box to a new motherboard with PCI express slots is in my future. Now I'm wondering if PCI tuner cards are less receptive than newer PCI express tuner cards since I'll...

Looks like it is running radeon modules already. Here's the output u asked for:

I wound up doing a fresh install to see if it automatically got the driver and it did not. I see there's a bunch of packages for xorg xserver in the synaptic repos and there's a lot for ATI. I...

I installed Mythbuntu 16.0.4.5 fresh from an AMD64 DVD last week. At the time I only had integrated video which worked but was choppy and this is the video setup that mythbuntu automatically...

Got it working and it was a permissions thing. I set the 2 recording directories in the backend to a place where mythtv (that's the mythbuntu user/group) can write. Anything in /var/lib/mythtv...
