This video shows example backend setup steps using an HDHomeRun Prime tuner and guide data from Schedules Direct.

The operating system used is Ubuntu, which can be downloaded from https://ubuntu.com.

Instructions for installing Mythbuntu Control Panel can be found at https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythbuntu_Control_Panel.

The setup steps are different depending on the tuner being used.  Helpful information can be found on the MythTV wiki at https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/.  Help can also be obtained by posting questions on the MythTV forum at https://forum.mythtv.org.

Fetching the channels from the listing source can take a long time.  Even with a fast processor and abundant memory, running mythfilldatabase can take a long time.  Give these time to finish.

Some intermediate clear steps are skipped in the video.  When configuring the listings grabber, I accepted many of the defaults by just pressing enter.

The configuration of the tv_grab_zz_sdjson grabber is shown.  This grabber will likely be changed in the near future to be compatible with server software changes that Schedules Direct will be implementing.  Updating the grabber may be necessary if the Ubuntu package containing the grabber is not updated automatically.  More information about this can be found at  https://forums.schedulesdirect.org/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3201 on the Schedules Direct forums.
