[02:30] <pteague> anybody know if there's a way to make the mythtv frontend read-only? i.e. i may have to put my backend out in the living room where roommates can get to it, but i don't want them overwriting my recording schedule or deleting shows i've not yet watched, but i don't have any problems with them watching stuff i've already recorded
[03:14] <tgm4883> pteague, nope, i've not heard of a way to do that
[04:04] <Shadow__X> tgm4883: there is not a way to stop people from being able to delete things?
[04:39] <tgm4883> Shadow__X, I don't believe so
[05:17] <Shadow__X> oh ok. Would be a neat idea although i am not sure how many people would get use out of it. I would much rather have users respect settings than to just go around deleting things
[06:08] <pteague> i wonder about using a different mysql user for the client on that box &/or making a new group so the "guest" user could read (& use the client), but not write to the /var/lib/mythtv/*/ directories
[06:10] <pteague> otherwise i'll probably string up a coax cable with my cat 5 tomorrow...  up, over, & wrapped down around the top of the door frame between living room & hallway, down the wall, & under my door... can't have guests tripping over cabling
[07:00] <tgm4883> pteague, different user wouldn't do much, the deleting would all be done by the backend
[07:00] <tgm4883> different mysql user though might do something
[16:32] <Newsome> Hey there experts...this is my first time doing this but I have a mythbuntu question.
[16:32] <rhpot1991> ask away
[16:33] <Newsome> I have been happily using muthbuntu for about two years.  I can't get cable and I want satellite for one thing...RFD-TV..I have an old dish and I found the channel and sat and it's a clear channel and DVB-S
[16:33] <Newsome> Can I tune it in with Mythbuntu if I have the right card>  I am in the US
[16:34] <Newsome> I was thinking Hauppauge 2200 if I can find one
[16:35] <Newsome> PS...I am currently watching OTA HD with a HVR-2250
[16:35] <rhpot1991> Newsome: most sattelites require you to have a stb from the company to decrypt the stream
[16:35] <rhpot1991> so I'm kinda confused about what you are asking
[16:35] <Newsome> it's not encrypted
[16:35] <Newsome> I read about DVB-S support for Myth but it seems to be a European thing...
[16:36] <Newsome> if the sat is unencrypted and it's DVB-S does it matter if it's US or EUR
[16:36] <rhpot1991> what sattelite provider?
[16:36] <Newsome> no provider...FTA satellite is alive and well in the US
[16:36] <Newsome> Free-to-Aur
[16:36] <rhpot1991> oh ok
[16:36] <Newsome> air
[16:36] <rhpot1991> possible then
[16:36] <rhpot1991> might want to ask around in #mythtv-users
[16:36] <rhpot1991> see if you can find someone else already doing that
[16:37] <rhpot1991> or the mailing list
[16:37] <rhpot1991> !mailing% | newsome
[16:37] <Zinn> newsome: The MythTV Users mailing list is located at: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/

[16:37] <Newsome> go the link...thanks.
