[00:00] I used a Plextor ConvertX 402U for a while.. it wasn't bad [00:00] thats usb [00:01] not that its really an issue these days, just make sure your plugged into a usb 2.0 port [00:02] if you just want OTA for now, I'd check out the HDHR [00:02] works well, gets you OTA HD and clear QAM [00:02] support is there out of the box [00:02] what is QAM? [00:02] digital broadcast [00:02] I need to look into that one myself [00:03] most stuff is encrypted through cable companies, so you don't get a lot but you get some [00:03] and your local's in HD [00:03] oh its over the air.. I have satalite.. not a winning combination eh? [00:04] not really [00:05] Solarbaby: your best bet is to keep an eye on the HDPRV 1212 from hauppauge, there are beta drivers out [00:05] will do.. Im still living with 1 single tuner card.. Hauppauge PVR 350.. I love the card.. but I've got HD in the next room and its just sitting there [00:08] When checking things out should I be looking for chipsets or API supported or what exactly? I'm not confident the sales people will know what will work or not. Or should I just buy online? [00:09] hello... I have been working on this MythTV box for days, and I'm stuck [00:09] when I click watch tv, the screen blinks and it goes back to the main menue [00:14] Anyone now how well (or if at all) the HVR-950Q works? [00:28] SolarBaby, do you use the Composite In on your pvr350? [00:43] pcglue: I use the svideo input.. [00:45] solarbaby, what version of ubuntu are you running and what kernel version? I have trouble with composite in on hardy. I had to change to use the RF input. [00:46] pcglue: im using Mythbuntu 8.04 [00:46] and I've got to say everything worked right out of the box [00:47] solarbaby, are you also using the audio line in on the pvr350? [00:47] Yes [00:47] hmm, ok. thanks. [00:47] perhaps its your settings in Myth config that are the problems [00:48] actually, video for composite in works. I just don't get the audio from the audio line in. [00:48] I dont remember having a problem with that.. but you might try alsamixer [00:49] just type that in from a shell and it loads up a gui that lets you config your sound [00:49] ok, i'll give that a try. thanks. [00:49] good luck === tgm4883_laptop_ is now known as tgm4883_laptop [05:33] hi all [05:33] i just installed mythbuntu for first time earlyer [05:33] just went to restart [05:33] and it appears poof [05:33] lol [05:34] i've already done several restarts thoughout the day [05:34] but this time it wont boot back up [06:39] hrmm [06:40] hey everyone i cant get past loading hardware drivers???

And I know that I have to translate from time_t to a normal date, but I don't know how.... Does anyone have a pointer on how to do that? [21:17] isn't there a script in the mythtv wiki [21:22] @laga I can't seem to find it... [21:22] well, go to go for now... Will find it out somehow or else just write my own python script [21:22] but thanks anyway [21:23] "man date" ;) [21:39] lol my installation has been copying installation logs for like 40 minutes [21:39] why is it taking so long [22:18] hi all i just got an error botting up mythbuntu it says Server Authorization director (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/lib/gdm but is not owned by user 108 and group 115.

[22:21] aye [22:22] odd [22:22] it took hours [22:22] well, maybe google can turn up some hints [22:22] but your installation probably is corrupt somehow [22:22] you can fix broken permissions/ownership using chmod/chown [22:23] can you see if we can get that fixed see if thats all thats corrupt or something [22:24] yeah its bad install [22:24] saying cannot create temp file for here document : read only file system [23:25] manual recordings don't show up in recorded shows unless I do the "live tv" profile.
