[02:30] 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] pteague, nope, i've not heard of a way to do that [04:04] tgm4883: there is not a way to stop people from being able to delete things? [04:39] Shadow__X, I don't believe so [05:17] 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] 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] 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] pteague, different user wouldn't do much, the deleting would all be done by the backend [07:00] different mysql user though might do something === lala is now known as Guest88808 [16:32] Hey there experts...this is my first time doing this but I have a mythbuntu question. [16:32] ask away [16:33] 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] Can I tune it in with Mythbuntu if I have the right card> I am in the US [16:34] I was thinking Hauppauge 2200 if I can find one [16:35] PS...I am currently watching OTA HD with a HVR-2250 [16:35] Newsome: most sattelites require you to have a stb from the company to decrypt the stream [16:35] so I'm kinda confused about what you are asking [16:35] it's not encrypted [16:35] I read about DVB-S support for Myth but it seems to be a European thing... [16:36] if the sat is unencrypted and it's DVB-S does it matter if it's US or EUR [16:36] what sattelite provider? [16:36] no provider...FTA satellite is alive and well in the US [16:36] Free-to-Aur [16:36] oh ok [16:36] air [16:36] possible then [16:36] might want to ask around in #mythtv-users [16:36] see if you can find someone else already doing that [16:37] or the mailing list [16:37] !mailing% | newsome [16:37] newsome: The MythTV Users mailing list is located at: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/ [16:37] gotcha...thanks...that was my next stop [16:37] go the link...thanks. [16:37] sure, good luck
