majoridiottry googling?04:13
Xenocidethats my guess04:13
Xenocidei did no luck so far04:13
Xenocideblue people bug weee04:29
Xenocideseriously screw ATI04:29
majoridiotpretty much04:29
Xenocidewas that 6200 good enough04:30
majoridiothttp://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/XvMC04:30
Xenocidelooks like i might be picking one up04:32
Xenocidewanna buy an X300SE pci express card? :)04:32
majoridiotafter all i've done for you, you treat me like that?04:32
majoridiot:P04:32
Xenocidewant a free one?04:33
Xenocidei don't think you even want that hahahha04:33
majoridiotLMAO04:33
majoridioti was trying to give mine to superm1 the other night04:33
Xenocidehaha04:33
Xenocidewhich card do you have04:33
majoridiothe might wind up with quite a collection04:34
majoridiotradeon 9600XT somethingorother usless POS04:34
Xenocidethose were nice cards04:34
Xenocidea few years ago04:34
majoridiotin windows it was ok for what i needed it for04:34
Xenocideyea04:34
majoridiotit's never been anything but a pain in the ass in linux04:35
Xenocidehm04:36
Xenocidethis xvmc article says some of the cards do not support hd04:36
Xenocide(with xvmc)04:36
Xenocideso they just do cpu based hd upscaling04:36
majoridiotit's a dodgy area04:37
majoridioti've never had much luck with xvmc04:37
majoridiotnow i don't need it.  the new box handles HD np.04:37
Xenocidemine does too04:37
Xenocidebut more load off the cpu = way less heat04:38
Xenocidei have a pentium 530 in there04:38
Xenocide3ghz w/ HT, aka overkill for mythtv04:38
majoridiothehe. a litle.04:38
Xenocidedamn hd is 9gb an hour04:39
majoridiotyup04:40
Xenocidei don't have a tuner but  hopefully my digital cable box will have firewire04:40
Xenocide*hd tuner04:40
majoridiotdo you knpw what box they offer?04:40
Xenocidenope04:43
Xenocideoh hey fixed the dark screen04:43
Xenocideturned overlay off in X04:43
majoridiothow does the video look?04:44
ChadariusXenocide: you have comcast?04:45
Xenocidetimewarner04:45
ChadariusXenocide: Well that is probably good. Not totally sure about TimeWarner, but Comcast has encrypted everything except for local channels so firewire blows chunks right now04:46
Xenocidethats the only way i can record HD except for OTA channels, correct?04:47
majoridiotchadarius: that's against the law04:47
Chadariusmajoridiot: I wish it was but its not. The firewire port works fine if you use it with other devices that can use 5c encryption04:48
majoridiotnot unless they changed the law04:49
Chadariusmajoridiot: But MythTV and a PC is not one of those :(. And won't be until someone breaks federal law and figures out how to create a firewire driver that can do 5c decryption04:49
=== majoridiot is pretty sure 5C is hardware only
=== majoridiot is going to look up the statute again
Chadariusmajoridiot: Yep, but we can emulate a whole PC in software now so hopefully something is in the works04:50
Xenocidecrazy stuff04:57
majoridiotwell... no.  the law has not been changed.05:10
majoridiotchadarius: 76.1904   Encoding rules for defined business models.05:11
majoridiot(a) Commercial audiovisual content delivered as unencrypted broadcast television shall not be encoded so as to prevent or limit copying thereof by covered products or, to constrain the resolution of the image when output from a covered product.05:11
majoridiot(b) Except for a specific determination made by the Commission pursuant to a petition with respect to a defined business model other than unencrypted broadcast television, or an undefined business model subject to the procedures set forth in 76.1906:05:11
majoridiot(1) Commercial audiovisual content shall not be encoded so as to prevent or limit copying thereof except as follows:05:11
majoridiot(i) To prevent or limit copying of video-on-demand or pay-per-view transmissions, subject to the requirements of paragraph (b)(2) of this section; and05:11
majoridiot(ii) To prevent or limit copying, other than first generation of copies, of pay television transmissions, non-premium subscription television, and free conditional access delivery transmissions; and05:11
majoridiot(2) With respect to any commercial audiovisual content delivered or transmitted in form of a video-on-demand or pay-per-view transmission, a covered entity shall not encode such content so as to prevent a covered product, without further authorization, from pausing such content up to 90 minutes from initial transmission by the covered entity (e.g., frame-by-frame, minute-by-minute, megabyte by megabyte).05:11
majoridiotthat's pretty clear... if you pay for it, you have every right to time shift05:13
majoridiotand there's no definition of "acceptable" methods.05:13
majoridiotso vcr, dvr, computer, dvhs or frame by frame with a cellphone is all legal.05:14
Chadariusmajoridiot: Perhaps this section has something to do with us being bent over...Except for a specific determination made by the Commission pursuant to a petition with respect to a defined business model other than unencrypted broadcast television, or an undefined business model subject to the procedures set forth in 76.1906:05:16
majoridiotthere is none on record with the fcc.05:16
Chadariusmajoridiot: Perhaps the Commission has made a specific determination?05:16
majoridiot(it's a shell game, pal)05:16
majoridiotdeterminations must be published... and there are none published.05:17
majoridiotthe sticking point is this:05:18
majoridiot (ii) To prevent or limit copying, other than first generation of copies, of pay television transmissions, non-premium subscription television, and free conditional access delivery transmissions; and05:18
majoridiotrecording via firewire is a first generation copy05:18
majoridiotwhich they can not prevent05:19
majoridiotif they insist they can, the onus is theirs to prove it... because it aint on the books as far as i can tell05:19
majoridiotand i keep on top of this as much as possible05:19
majoridiotchadarius: call dick durbin's office and ask them to look into it.05:20
majoridiot;)05:20
ChadariusYeah I will05:22
majoridiotthe only "computer" limitation in the statute is specifically internet-based or via cable modem.  thaz it.05:23
Xenocidewhat is the key for the guide again?06:11
