+====== Install ======
+  - Base install of Mythbuntu 11.04
+    * Use the **nv** driver, not the **nvidia** driver.  I only got a blank screen when I booted with that one
+  - System -> Additional Drivers and installed the **nvidia** driver... so maybe I will change that driver to **vesa** assuming it breaks again
+  - Generated the **xorg.conf** file again by doing this [[http://www.osguides.net/operation-systems/217-how-to-create-xorgconf-in-ubuntu-910.html]]
+    - CTRL + ALT + F1 and login
+    - Do the following:  <code>
+sudo service gdm stop
+sudo Xorg -configure
+sudo cp ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+sudo service gdm start
+</code>

+====== Configuration ======
+===== Manual Channel Download =====
+Since DirectTV doesn't play well with the channel listing service.  We have to manually download the listings and insert them into the data base.
+Things you will need:
+  * Script for downloading and installing (I placed this in **~/bin/**) <code bash>
+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# grab the data from schedules direct
+tv_grab_na_dd --dd-data /home/mythbot/xmldata.xml
+# fill the database with our listing data
+mythfilldatabase --dd-file 1 -1 1 /home/mythbot/xmldata.xml
+</code>
+  * Help me file I left for myself:  <code>
+oot@ubuntu:/mnt/tmp/home/mythbot# more xmltv_listings_HOWTO.txt
+##--dd-file <sourceid> <offset> <lineupid> <xmlfile>
+##   <sourceid> = number of the video source to use with this file
+##   <offset>   = days from today that xmlfile defines
+##                (-1 means to replace all data, up to 10 days)
+##   <lineupid> = the lineup id
+##   <xmlfile>  = file to read
+# grab the data from schedules direct
+tv_grab_na_dd --dd-data xmldata.xml
+# fill the database with our listing data
+mythfilldatabase --dd-file 1 -1 1 xmldata.xml
