I have set up mythtv with a pcHDTV 5500 card, and everything seems to be working fine except for the guide data. My cable provider (Time Warner in Western Ohio) doesn't have digital channels available to select with DataDirect, so I think my only choice is EIT data. I have set the video source up to collect the EIT data, but nothing seems to be collected.

Is there a log file to check to see if mythtv is checking the data? /var/log/mythbackend.log says nothing. Also, when does the EIT data come in? I thought it would collect it during a mythfilldatabase, but mythfilldatabase never says anything about it. Some of the configuration options in MythTV make it sound like the data is just gradually downloaded as it becomes available from a channel.

You could set "all" in /etc/conf.d/mythbackend restart the backend then wait for a short while and look in the log file to see if there's anything awry...

I take it you can watch the channels with no problems? Does your cable provider put EIT data over their signal, someone else would have to confirm that.

Regards
Tim

Ok thanks. I set mythbackend to be fully verbose and caught it trying to update EIT data. Here is the output (I bolded what I think the problem might be).

It says that channel is hidden in the guide. I guess that means they don't broadcast EIT data?
