<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Hi,<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">I'm having a few
problems with a new Frontend/Backend server I implemented after
moving house. The old location had Terrestrial Freeview, but the
new location is Satellite Freeview only. I was having some
niggling problems with the old server, after a reboot Frontend
would take 20 to 30 minutes to appear after X started and it was
running low on hard disc space, so decided to implement a new
server.</font><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">The new server worked
fine at the old house as a standalone, but now I try to use at new
location and integrate into my Home Theatre setup I get two
problems:-</font><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace"><br>
1. I get no reception on the TBS 6805 tuner card despite the
MythTV Channel Setup saying at least as good signal strength as at
the old house and was working fine at old house. When I insert my
Satellite Signal Meter (cheap $25 moving coil meter type) into the
feeder, I get good signal strength AND suddenly the TBS card picks
up channels ???!!!! Is this some kind of impedance matching issue
that the meter is solving? I have a replacement LNB I could try,
but as it's a rented house I don't want to fiddle with the dish
unless I have to.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">2. When MythTV server
is connected direct to TV, it works OK, but when I connect my Home
Theatre Amp in between, after turning off Amp at night, when
powering up Amp next day, I now get no picture or sound unless I
reboot MythTV server. All connections are HDMI. TV and Amp are
same as at old house, but obviously server has changed. It was
initially using the builtin graphics for the Motherboard, but have
also tried a Nvidia 9200 with latest Nvidia drivers that has been
known to work in the past. My suspicions are X is turning off
video output when Amp is turned off and fails to turn back on when
Amp is turned back on. When I reboot MythTV server, Mythbuntu
splash screen shows as it's shutting down, so something is kicking
graphics back into life. Maybe there's something in the setup of
the new MythTV server that I've done differently, but with so many
settings it's going to be tedious to do a side by side check. <br>

</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Hardware is:-<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">TV: Panasonic
Plasma<br>
Amp: Denon<br>
MythTV: 0.27, Ubuntu 14.04 (Mythbuntu distro)<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">Anyone with any
pointers as to what to try to resolve these issues?<br>
