You'll probably need to jump in and out of Myth during the initial tweaking period to check that the channels are working for you and all appears as it should be.
I've also learned that if your TV signal is weak, then MythTV can hang up and there's not a lot you can do except for <Alt>+<Tab> to a terminal window and kill the front and backends before going back in, adjusting some settings and trying again. To kill the processes all you need to do is:

# ps -ef | grep mythbackend
# ps -ef | grep mythfrontend

This will list the process ID(s) of the MythBackend, now all you need to do is kill them:

# kill [PID Number Goes Here]

Once the backend is stopped you'll be able to configure the frontend

The views expressed in these pages are those of the Author and do not necessarily reflect those of whoever is employing him at the time of publication. Unless of course he says something really profound and insightful and impressive and stuff - in which case it was probably their idea all along and they'd like to take the credit for it. The page would probably look a lot better and be written with good grammar, punctuation and probably even get spell checked!
But short of included links to signed letters from the legal departments of aforesaid employers, you can take it as a given that the author is merely expressing his own opinions and feelings, and as such they are not purported as fact.
Of course if you're offended/upset/shocked/annoyed by anything written in these pages, then it is not too difficult to get in touch with the author - and he will certainly entertain any requests for post publication edits - seeing as he is such a reasonable chap and all.
