I need to make a correction: Recorded programs do not work. As for mysql.txt not loading, I did some checking on my system and here's what I found: camille ~ # locate mysql.txt /.mythtv/mysql.txt /etc/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt camille ~ # ls -l /.mythtv/mysql.txt /etc/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 962 Nov 19 2006 /.mythtv/mysql.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv users 1120 Sep 21 2008 /etc/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt
