Thanks to all, I will be taking my questions to the deb-multimedia list, I should have thought of that. Quickly, before I go, I did clean up my 'hosts' file a little and took care of that problem, although it didn't solve the basic problem. And ~/.mythtv/config.xml is valid also. I'll try to remember to post back here if I find some answers, just in case anyone is curious.
Thanks again, Jon On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 5:07 AM, Darac Marjal <mailingl...@darac.org.uk> wrote: > On Mon, Feb 03, 2014 at 07:07:22PM -0500, Jon N wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I've built a new machine and installed 64bit Debian testing on it.
