Tvheadend

I have been attempting to install tvhedend for the past 2 days and still do not have a running system.I have gone through the forums but I am not finding a straight forward setup guide. I have attempted to configure my system based on other posts.

I am accessing the web interface after install but can not seem to get anything working.

My install info:

• 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04
• Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150
• tvheadend_3.4.27~gfbda802~precise_i386.deb

• While the installer is labeled 3.4.27, the about screen in web interface shows HTS Tvheadend 3.5.239~g12e542b

• Downloaded package from http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable/pool/main/t/tvheadend/

The web interface is working

• tvheadend sees my adapter
• Status Page

• Lists Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 inactive, SNR unknown, Singnal strength not listing anything
• Cable from wall works when plugging it into a tv

Command line
I run tvheadend and get the output for my adapter with warning that output directory for video recording is not set. However I have a path in recording system path under digital video recorder screen

Appears I have tvheadend installed but I must be missing some configuration steps. I am going to reload the entire system and was hoping to find some help before I start my reload so I can make sure I dont make some silly mistake.

Thanks for any help in advance.
