Hello, this weekend I installed vista rc2 on a machine that was running
mythtv on fedora 5. After installation, I ran media center (mc) and setup my
tv card. In the process, I picked the wrong channel lineup (there were
multiple that all looked about right). Now, for example, the FX channel is
where Comeday Central should be. I believe I now know which lineup to use,
but when I start mc and go to the tv menu under settings, there is no option
to setup the tv channels. All I see under the Tasks -> Settings -> TV menu
are the following options (in descending order): Recorder, Guid, Audio,
Closed Captioning.

I cannot figure out how to either reset mc so I can go through the setup
process again or enable the tv setup option. I can successfully watch live
tv through my xbox 360, so I know that the tv card is setup and working.
This same problem happened before where the mc setup process stopped and
logged me out of the machine. At that time, I could not restart setup until
I uninstalled and reinstalled the video card drivers. I'm using a Hauppauge
PVR-250.

Thanks for any tips you have; I've searched google for hours trying to find
someone else with this issue but have not been successful.

Jeff
