</div>Yes, it is of topic. If I get a successful result I will post it here<br>
for the benefit o the search engines though. But I'll refrain from<br>
weeping tears on this list about anything not directly related to MythTV.<br>

My grief came from two sources. One a complete mystery (as yet) and the<br>
other a partial mystery.<br>
<br>
(1) Is that mythtv-setup fails to detect my DVB devices after some time.<br>
This does not seem to effect mythbackend. On the face of it this makes<br>
no sense and I will keep looking into it. There is a possibility that<br>
my device is faulty. BTW it is: ID 2040:7070 Hauppauge Nova-T Stick 3<br>

<br>
(2) I made an error in my reinstalls. I neglected to account for the<br>
fact that a USB stick is writeable and (for some reason, possibly a good<br>
one) the installer writes information to the stick during the install.<br>
Some of this information was unhelpful, and doing precisely the same<br>

Formatting the USB stick between installs solved that problem. I have<br>
"grown up" using CDs to do installs so was blindsided by this, and<br>
despite the evidence in front of me (options preserved between installs)<br>
I did not recognise the need to reformat USB stick. But what that<br>
information was, that caused the database errors, is mysterious.<br>

I was not. For the last install I used the default values and changed<br>
as little as possible (as I was defensive). The default is 127.0.0.1.<br>
I agree that using a static IP that addresses the machine from the<br>
network is the way to go. To that end I filed a bug (1211089) that<br>
there is no option to set a static IP during install.<br>
