[01:18] <bobert_1> hey all
[06:40] <foxxbuntu> OpenMediaSupport, you have many customers using Sat's with your boxes?
[07:14] <foxxbuntu> are any of you guys in tonight?
[07:16] <tgm4883_laptop> yep
[07:17] <foxxbuntu> hey, you heard much about using a Dish with Myth?
[07:18] <foxxbuntu> I am thinking about switching off my craptacular cable company to dish but wondering if anyone knows enough about it to say I am not gonna have a huge head ache from it
[07:20] <tgm4883_laptop> cable here
[07:20] <tgm4883_laptop> you can't do HD
[07:20] <tgm4883_laptop> thats all i know
[07:23] <foxxbuntu> yea
[07:23] <foxxbuntu> Im not going to HD though
[07:23] <OpenMediaSupport> foxxbuntu:  What do you mean by Sats?
[07:23] <foxxbuntu> Sat Dishs
[07:23] <foxxbuntu> Dishes
[07:23] <OpenMediaSupport> Yup.
[07:24] <OpenMediaSupport> I've also got a Diseqc on my for 4 sats
[07:24] <foxxbuntu> any big complaints to watch out for?
[07:24] <OpenMediaSupport> Sorry on mine for 4 sats
[07:25] <OpenMediaSupport> foxxbuntu: "complaints"?
[07:26] <OpenMediaSupport> Here we have two classes of Sat gear - Free To Air is currently MPEG2 standard DVB-S and pretty much just works.
[07:26] <OpenMediaSupport> See http://openmedia.co.nz/openmedia/content/view/88/58/ for a setup guide
[07:26] <foxxbuntu> yea...any issues surrounding dish use I should watch out for...I have always been on cable and they jacked me around and my price is getting out of hand so I am going to switch
[07:27] <OpenMediaSupport> Its more fun when its an STB like Sky TV NZ. Trying to position an IRBlaster on an older STB is a real pain.
[07:27] <foxxbuntu> I have Stars movie channel and basic family cable..and they are jacking me for $73/month
[07:27] <foxxbuntu> plus taxes and fees
[07:28] <OpenMediaSupport> Plus the obvious quality drop when you are only recording off SVideo or composite.
[07:28] <foxxbuntu> well I am on comps. right now
[07:28] <foxxbuntu> and on STBs from my cable providers
[07:29] <foxxbuntu> but I use serial cables
[07:29] <OpenMediaSupport> svideo makes a huge difference. Appears lifeview now have a card with component based capture, but I don't know if it supported under linux yet.
[07:29] <foxxbuntu> i dunno if my tuners support s-vid
[07:29] <OpenMediaSupport> Wish we could access the serial interface on the boxes here in NZ. No one has worked out the Spec.
[07:30] <tgm4883_laptop> openmediasupport, link to that card?
[07:31] <foxxbuntu> I should have just paid to go to Ubuntu Live
[07:33] <foxxbuntu> anywho...Thanks for the help guys
[07:33] <foxxbuntu> I am gonna kick the cable company to the curb
[07:37] <OpenMediaSupport> tgm4883_laptop: The Skystar2 cards?
[07:37] <OpenMediaSupport> tgm4883_laptop: I've lots of links, anything in particular you want.
[07:42] <tgm4883_laptop> i just didn't know they were making them again
[07:42] <tgm4883_laptop> ideally, i'd like to see support for the hdmi capture cards
[07:43] <tgm4883_laptop> but anything that will do HD over not firewire would work for me
[07:43] <tgm4883_laptop> what do they range in price?
[07:47] <OpenMediaSupport> Ah you are taling about the lifeview card with component capture.
[07:49] <OpenMediaSupport> Sorry its a leadtek card - http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/tv_tuner/overview.asp?lineid=6&pronameid=322
[06:19] <Jackhammer> I am having problems geeting EIT program info from DBS, can anyone help?
[09:20] <Kenzu> hello... some news?
[09:55] <tgm4883> yes kenzu?
