[03:17] hm [03:17] i never had to configure anything [03:17] two diff. resolutions- tv for myth of course [03:17] did you cold boot with svideo attached? [03:18] oh i haven't tried it with both attached [03:18] composite [03:18] old tv, no svideo [03:18] h [03:18] getting any output? [03:18] yeah... i can just set the res to 640x480 60 hz [03:18] and it clones the desktop to the tv [03:18] which works ok [03:19] but you want a diff resolution on monitor [03:19] but not what i want [03:19] i was never able to do that with my x1600 on my laptop [03:19] i tried [03:19] i've found some xorg.confs which claim to work... and they do, but the frontend crashes immediately [03:19] fp error. core dump. [03:19] hm no clue [03:20] eh... it works well enough, and is a lark, really. i never watch tv in the licingroom anyway. [03:20] LOL @ licingroom [03:20] should be de-licing room. [03:21] i'll wait and see if the restricted manager does a better job in feisty. [03:35] hey majoridiot is the mythvideo preferences in the frontend [03:35] *are [03:35] i figured out my database problem..... === parag0n__ [n=parag0n@popeshoe.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [03:36] the masterbackend still has some program info from a slave backend I removed [03:36] the programs no longer exist...but the database still has the info [03:36] how can i get rid of the old program info? [03:37] hey guys, does anyone have any recommendations for DVB-T cards for use with ubuntu & mythtv? [03:38] http://www.dvico.com/default_e.asp [03:39] look here too [03:39] http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_devices [03:40] thanks :) [04:01] setup >> media settings >> videos settings [04:03] you should be able to fix your database with phpmyadmin, williammanda [04:05] setup >> media settings >> videos settings...i don't have this [04:06] you installed it on the frontend, right? [04:06] i repaired and optimized both mysql & mythconver databases [04:06] i have 3 frontends installed [04:07] sorry... that setup post was meant for xen. [04:08] not familiar with your problem, williammanda... what are the missing video causing to go wrong? [04:10] apparently the database still has video programs from a slave backend that i have removed [04:10] yes. and? [04:10] not the actual programs but the info for them in the database [04:10] yes [04:11] what is the gripe? [04:11] do you show blank records in the library of what? [04:11] or [04:11] i would like to get rid of the programs from showing up each time [04:12] showing up where? [04:12] i understand what has happened... just not what your complaint is. symptoms? etc. [04:13] all the shows that are not really there are still showing up when i go to watch recorded shows [04:13] ah [04:13] ok [04:14] that happened to me once [04:14] also I have the old tuner still showing when i goto info center - system status - tuners [04:15] you should be able to delete the old tuner in backend setup [04:15] as for the video problem... [04:16] i intentionally tried to play every one of the missing videos one after another... [04:16] i setup the tuner in the mythtv-setup that is gone now....i'm not following you [04:16] and then too the error messages from the backend log... [04:16] to get the filenames it was looking for... [04:16] created dummy files with a script... [04:16] and then just deleted them with the frontend. [04:20] if i create a tuner on a slave backend.....the info gets stored in the database... [04:20] sorry... distracted [04:20] anyway, the unwanted tuner should still show in the masterbackend mythtv-setup [04:20] but the tuner can't be changed on the master backend...only on the slave backend it was created on correct? [04:21] mine don't [04:21] not sure about that. seems pointless if not. [04:21] the master backend only shows the tuner that was installed on it [04:21] the point is.... [04:22] i was trying to get rid of the old tuner from showing up when i viewed it under system status [04:23] just delete it drom the db with phpmyadmin then [04:26] is it that simple? [04:26] should be [04:26] i've taken out things without tons of foreknowledge [04:27] :) [04:27] just look around... the interface is pretty good and the db has a logical structure === superm1 [n=superm1@ubuntu/member/superm1] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv === Uberbot [n=mdiehl@c-76-18-87-61.hsd1.nm.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-mythtv [05:56] Hi all.

[07:59] straight out or i have to do some fixes my self [07:59] Wowza [08:00] Either of you have any advice on a dual-tuner HD card? [08:00] also can i install ubuntu then install mythtv [08:01] madhatter_, it appears that it is right out of hte box supported according to that page [08:01] madhatter_, if you have any difficulties though, either us or #mythtv-users would be glad to help [08:01] Specifically, I'd love to find one that can handle either DirecTV or Dish Network signal without an STB [08:01] teknopagan, dual tuner HD for Satellite doesn't exist unfort [08:01] teknopagan, neither does single tuner HD for sat [08:02] the only methods for HD capture in the US are via over the air, QAM cable, or firewire [08:02] Not even for Dish Network? If I understand correctly, Dish uses standard DVB-S [08:02] and no known satellite receiver has firewire on it [08:02] teknopagan, if thats the case and its not encrypted [08:02] teknopagan, but i would imagine encrypted - because thats what your access card is for [08:03] in the satellite receiver [08:03] Rough. What about digital cable? [08:03] Is it also limited to only unencrypted channels? [08:03] if your cable company doesnt add 5C encryption to firewire, your in the clear [08:03] but anything 5C encrypted = no [08:04] and most cable companies encrypt all the QAM stuff too (that you would do without a digital box, but with a HD5000 or air2pc card) [08:04] Blech. When is somebody going to come out with a CableCard adapter for PC... [08:04] That would be shweet.
