If the computer the T2 is connected to is running, the blue LED on the front should be off and go on when you have achieved the FE_HAS_LOCK status. As far as further steps are concerned, well you should start to con- figure mythtv, following the instructions that come with it. There is an option to scan for stations somewhere in the mythtv config routines. I have used mythtv for quite a while, but it was too much work for the computer it was installed on. So I am now using Xine, Kaffeine and some homemade scripts for recording. Regards, Rainer -- Rainer Schubert - Linux TV User Amateur Radio Call DL6HBO
