[00:10] <shubes> Hello, I'm a noob to mythbuntu, with linux experience.
[00:10] <shubes> Having trouble getting channels scanned. I have a USB HVR-950, and I finally got the firmware loaded, and no more hate messages in dmesg.
[00:11] <shubes> Trying to configure backend for mythbuntu, scanning broadcast channels (antenna).
[00:11] <shubes> It says no signal for channels with no signal, but channels that should be there say no channels.
[00:11] <shubes> Any pointers?
[00:12] <shubes> I'm using mythbuntu 11.10 btw.
[00:12] <shubes> Fresh install.
[00:18] <shubes> Wondering if perhaps my antenna signal just isn't strong enough.
[12:48] <TandyUK>  does anyone know if it is possible to make a usb hdd masquerade as a flash drive?  A friend has bought a brand new set top box, which plays media files from a usb stick, but refuses point blank to detect a usb hdd and id rather plug in a 1.5tb drive than copy stuff in block of 16gb :S
[15:51] <shubes> TandyUK: I don't think it's the physical device so much as the partition and filesystem on the HDD. Check the filesystem type and partition on the HDD. I don't know what the set top box expects, but fat32 will probably work. You may need to format it from a linux box, as some OSs (don't recall which ones) can't format fat32 that large.
