I'm a windows-to-linux convert (so I have a rather weak understanding of the under-pinnings of linux) that wants to be able to setup a pvr/live-tv setup, and MythTV has stomped on all of my attempts. This effort was looking promising, until I tried to watch live-tv Error: [ JumpToProgram's OpenFile failed ] which googles to be some non-descript issue that many have encountered without a definitive solution, beyond posts suggesting that the tuners aren't setup correctly... I've deleted and re-installed the capture cards several times, but if I deviate from the partially working setup, I end up with a non-working setup. It seems like there's a million others out there who have this tuner-card running live-tv just fine.
When I try to watch live TV, I get an error The frontend will record via the tuner(s) (at least for a few minutes) but can't actually watch them?
Is this noob fixable? If I buy an updated tuner-card (I'm eyeing hauppauge's HDquad), do these woes go away?
Fedora 25 (Gnome)
Core2Quad 9450
Hauppauge pvr2250
nvidia gt430
Any help is appreciated.
