Configure Guide Data / Backend

The final steps of the installation require setting up your guide data and configuring the backend for the first time.

Click to open the Schedules Direct website

Users in North America will need to setup an account with Schedules Direct (SD). SD provides guide data for a nominal fee. Without SD, North American users may lose many of the scheduling features in MythTV.

Launch MythTV Setup

After setting up your guide data source, you will need to launch MythTV-Setup to run the backend configuration for the first time. You will need to configure the first four sections, being sure to provide your guide data during the third.

Method for toggling between national and Latin mode:

You will need a way to toggle the keyboard between the national layout and the standard Latin layout. Several options are available.

Method for temporarily toggle between national and Latin input:

Sometimes the keyboard is in national mode and you want to type only few Latin letters. In this case it may be desirable to have a key for temporary switching between national and Latin symbols. While this key is pressed in national mode the keyboard types Latin letters and in reverse, when the keyboard is in Latin mode and you are pressing this key the keyboard will type national letters.

Once you answer a few questions, the system will be ready for you to use.

Once the system is configured to your satisfaction, run 'oem-config-prepare'. This will cause the system to delete the temporary 'oem' user and ask the end user various configuration questions the next time it boots.
