| NightGecko | I've been having an issue with MythTV's Live TV. I cant get the sound to run in live tv at all, everything else is fine. I'm using a PVR-250 and all channels connect fine but have no sound. Does anyone know a way to correct this? I can provide any onther information about the system if needed. | 00:08 |

| Belial6 | Has anyone gotten the CommandIR II to work? | 02:51 |
| quentusrex | Hello. I have ripped a DVD to an iso file. How do I take the iso file and transcode it to an avi file? | 03:47 |
| rhpot1991 | quentusrex: you don't, easily that is | 03:47 |
| quentusrex | why not? | 03:47 |
| quentusrex | I can transcode it smaller when I rip the dvd. Why can't I do it too later? | 03:48 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm not arguing that you shouldn't be able to, I'm saying mythtv cannot do it | 03:49 |
| quentusrex | is there a way to do it with an 'exec' command? | 03:49 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm sure there is, but I don't know how off the top of my head | 03:50 |
| rhpot1991 | I've tried to trick mythtv into thinking the iso was a dvd, but it didn't work and to be honest I cannot remember why | 03:50 |
| quentusrex | couldn't vlc do it? | 03:50 |
| NightGecko | I've been trying to load my games onto MythGame plugin, but it never populates the "Play Games" list, it has once before but will not repopulate it again with new information. Anyone know how to populate the Play Games list? | 03:52 |
| Belial6 | Hello, I'm trying to get the CommandIR II to work with MythTV, but It fails after the first button press. It looks like it might be something to do with the usb, as I am getting 'usb error on read = 10' before the button press, and 'usb error on read = -32' after the button press. | 04:13 |
| gregL | laga: Any news on the weekly build of trunk yet? | 04:49 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, Utils/Setup > Setup > Media Settings > Games Settings > Scan for Games | 04:57 |
| foxbuntu | Belial6, what is the output of: apt-cache policy lirc | 04:57 |
| NightGecko | i've used that multipule times, but it doesn't seem to pick up anything | 04:58 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, then you need to make sure your games are in the directory defined in the setup | 04:58 |
| NightGecko | i'll verify that real quick | 04:58 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, if they are in the dir make sure the permissions are correct on the new files ou have added | 05:03 |
| NightGecko | is read only workable or does it need to be read/write? | 05:03 |
| foxbuntu | read is fine as long as everyone can read it | 05:04 |
| foxbuntu | well | 05:04 |
| foxbuntu | yeah should be fine | 05:04 |
| Belial6 | lirc: | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | Installed: 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7.1 | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | Candidate: 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7.1 | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | Version table: | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | *** 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7.1 0 | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy-updates/universe Packages | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7 0 | 05:05 |
| NightGecko | changing it to read/write as it was read only, just to test something diffferent | 05:05 |
| Belial6 | 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/universe Packages | 05:05 |
| foxbuntu | Belial6, did you happen to change the lirc hardware to use the CommandIR II? | 05:07 |
| NightGecko | do i need a working directory? i would think not but it is something i've left untryed | 05:08 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, no, i dont think so for the games | 05:09 |
| NightGecko | :/ I'm still not getting them to show up | 05:09 |
| NightGecko | whenever i hit scan for games it runs through in less than a second and i have about 500 mb of game data if that helps at all | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, hmm..are they the same type of games as the others that are showing up? | 05:10 |
| Belial6 | Yep. I set that in the mythbuntu control center. Under Infrared Devices. I selected 'Command IR : Dish Receiver' as the CommandIR website says for the Transmitter. I did not select anything for remote control, as the Command IR site doesn't say to do that. | 05:10 |
| foxbuntu | Belial6, thats alright | 05:11 |
| NightGecko | well, the others that were showing up disappered when i edited the emulator's information (changed the volume level from 25% to 080%) | 05:12 |
| NightGecko | and i have quite a few different games on it | 05:12 |
| NightGecko | there has only be one load that it seemed to acctually pick up any files | 05:13 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, yeah...sorry really dont know anything about the games, last time I even used the plugin was mythtv 0.18 | 05:14 |
| NightGecko | do i need the "." in the file extention? | 05:14 |
| NightGecko | ah | 05:14 |
| Belial6 | I tend to think it is something to do with USB, as I get a bunch of 'lirc_cmdir: usb error on read = 10' under dmesg before the first button press, and a bunch of 'lirc_cmdir: usb error on read = -32' after the button press, when the CommandIR II status light changes from green to red. Does this sound right, or is that a red herring? | 05:14 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, if its like the internal player no | 05:14 |
| foxbuntu | Belial6, try lsusb | 05:14 |
| NightGecko | cool, thanks for your help, i've got a few other things to try | 05:15 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, you could sure try it | 05:15 |
| NightGecko | well that was the issue it loks like | 05:15 |
| NightGecko | go figure it was something as simple as that | 05:16 |
| NightGecko | the "." messed up the extention | 05:16 |
| NightGecko | by the way foxbuntu, do you happen to know much dealing with pvr-250 cards? | 05:17 |
| Belial6 | It shows 'Bus 002 Device 006: ID 10c4:0003 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.', which is what the web site says it should. I got the exact same behavior on the box I initially tried to install on. I moved try to install on my primary computer to try to minimize the chance that it was something wrong with the specific machine. Retrying lsusb, I still get the message. | 05:17 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, some, whats the issue? | 05:19 |
| NightGecko | I've gotten everything set up for my card to get cable, but it picks up everything but sound | 05:20 |
| NightGecko | specifically comcast digital cable, if that helps at all | 05:20 |
| foxbuntu | Belial6, hmm strange, I know there were some lirc patches coming reguarding the CommardIR devices, sorry don't know much more than that | 05:20 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, how are you hooked up to the cable? | 05:21 |
| NightGecko | wall jack -> PVR-250 cable jack | 05:21 |
| NightGecko | direct as it gets pretty much | 05:21 |
| foxbuntu | hmm | 05:21 |
| foxbuntu | Digital cable? That usually requires a STB | 05:22 |
| foxbuntu | or are you trying to just grab the basic channels? | 05:22 |
| NightGecko | grabbing channels 2-84 | 05:22 |
| Belial6 | Bummer. The web site says that I must have lirc 0.8.3~pre1 installed, and that it should just work. Thanks anyway. Any suggestions on where I might look for further help? Post here at a different hour/day when someone else might be around maybe? | 05:22 |
| NightGecko | so lacking the high up channels | 05:23 |
| foxbuntu | Belial6, try the forums | 05:23 |
| Belial6 | Ok, Thanks! | 05:23 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, pastebin the following results: dmesg | grep ivtv | 05:23 |

| foxbuntu | NightGecko, I got it, but for future reference | 05:32 |
| foxbuntu | !pastebin | NightGecko | 05:32 |
| Zinn | NightGecko: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 05:32 |
| NightGecko | oh, sorry, my bad | 05:33 |
| NightGecko | would i go about putting that "!pastebin" before or after the text? | 05:35 |
| foxbuntu | see the link in the note? | 05:35 |
| NightGecko | yeah | 05:35 |
| NightGecko | just use that instead? | 05:35 |
| foxbuntu | you go there, paste your text, then provide the url it is at in here | 05:36 |
| NightGecko | ah, i get it now | 05:36 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, try lspci and look for the tv tuner (it should stand out) | 05:43 |
| foxbuntu | then you will see the PCI id in front of it (xx:yy.z) | 05:43 |
| NightGecko | k | 05:43 |
| foxbuntu | then run this command | 05:43 |
| foxbuntu | setpci -v -s xx:yy.z latency_timer=[64] | 05:44 |
| foxbuntu | where you replace the xx:yy.z with the id you found above | 05:44 |
| NightGecko | setpci: Invalid value "[64]" | 05:47 |
| foxbuntu | oops | 05:47 |
| foxbuntu | thats a hex value not decimal | 05:47 |
| foxbuntu | change 64 to 40 | 05:48 |
| NightGecko | k | 05:48 |
| NightGecko | same issue | 05:49 |
| foxbuntu | really? | 05:49 |
| foxbuntu | then just put in ff | 05:49 |
| NightGecko | setpci: Invalid value "[40]" | 05:49 |
| foxbuntu | er | 05:49 |
| foxbuntu | just try 0 | 05:49 |
| NightGecko | setpci: Invalid value "[0]" | 05:50 |
| foxbuntu | hmm | 05:51 |
| NightGecko | wait is it supposed to be [=0]? | 05:51 |
| NightGecko | as opposed to =[0]? | 05:51 |
| foxbuntu | nope | 05:53 |
| foxbuntu | just the way I had it | 05:53 |
| foxbuntu | setpci -v -s xx:yy.z latency_timer=[64] | 05:53 |
| foxbuntu | setpci -v -s xx:yy.z latency_timer=[n] | 05:53 |
| foxbuntu | n is a hex value between 0 and ff | 05:53 |
| NightGecko | want me to post what i put in? | 05:54 |
| foxbuntu | yea | 05:54 |
| NightGecko | setpci -v -s 05:06.0 latency_timer=[0] | 05:54 |
| foxbuntu | hmm | 05:54 |
| foxbuntu | im stumped | 05:54 |
| foxbuntu | that should work | 05:54 |
| foxbuntu | try | 05:54 |
| foxbuntu | sudo .. | 05:54 |
| NightGecko | k | 05:55 |
| foxbuntu | add sudo to the front of that command | 05:55 |
| NightGecko | no change | 05:55 |
| rhpot1991 | sudo get me a sandwich | 05:55 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, lol | 05:55 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, you can get me one | 05:56 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, I havent eatten dinner yet...I should do that | 05:56 |
| rhpot1991 | foxbuntu: gonna take a while for me to ups it to you | 05:56 |
| rhpot1991 | you might starve by that time, their ground service takes forever anymore | 05:57 |
| foxbuntu | rhpot1991, still better than fedex | 05:57 |
| rhpot1991 | I prefer fedex actually | 05:57 |
| rhpot1991 | they deliver in normal hours, ups gets here at like 7pm | 05:57 |
| rhpot1991 | and takes 2 weeks to get me crap from CA anymore | 05:57 |
| * rhpot1991 isn't a happy camper these past few days | 05:58 | |
| * foxbuntu wonders if he should go grab a crappy burger or order a pizza | 05:58 | |
| * foxbuntu or the third option, taco hell | 05:59 | |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, thats not your real issue so no big deal | 05:59 |
| NightGecko | ? | 06:00 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, what version of mythbuntu are you running? | 06:00 |
| NightGecko | newest, got the iso a couple of days ago | 06:00 |
| foxbuntu | hmm you should have no issues with that card | 06:01 |
| foxbuntu | the drivers are included in the kernel and are stable | 06:02 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, you might try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:03 |
| foxbuntu | then reboot and see what happens | 06:03 |
| foxbuntu | just to make sure you have everything | 06:03 |
| NightGecko | I'm pretty sure that the card can get sound as i have run it on different system and gotten sound, but i set it up wrong and only got 14 channels | 06:03 |
| NightGecko | k | 06:03 |
| foxbuntu | NightGecko, I will be back in a bit...dinner time | 06:04 |
| NightGecko | alright, have a good dinner | 06:04 |
| NightGecko | and thanks for all the help so far | 06:04 |
| foxbuntu | np | 06:04 |
| NightGecko | great, 503 error | 06:09 |
| NightGecko | meh, guess i'll try hitting it tomorrow | 06:09 |
| NightGecko | anyways, its late over here, i'm off to bed, prolly be on tommorow nght. And again, thanks for all the help, it much apprecieated | 06:26 |

| PhuKer | hello all.. i'm looking for a little assistance with plugins for mythbuntu... particularly sasc-ng would i find help on this topic here? | 19:20 |
| Zinn | PhuKer: sasc-ng is a method to ILLEGALLY receive cable or satellite broadcasts via a fake software dvb-s/c device. It is forbidden from being discussed in #ubuntu-mythtv, #ubuntu-mythtv-dev, #mythtv-users, and #mythtv. If you would like to learn more about it, please refer to it's developers and keep any and all discussions about it there. | 19:20 |
| PhuKer | ty. for a great bot | 19:21 |
| majoridiot | hehe | 19:21 |
| PhuKer | answered my questions right away... LOL | 19:22 |
| majoridiot | and politely, at that. ;) | 19:22 |
| PhuKer | yep.. not just the simple kick... jk | 19:22 |
| PhuKer | finding assistance is like pulling teeth | 19:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | its your topic | 19:23 |
| PhuKer | and i lost my vicegrips | 19:23 |
| PhuKer | yeah i know.. | 19:24 |
| PhuKer | but on the other hand i'm having quite the issue with finding a good tuner card for the myth box | 19:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well there is always the trusty pvr-150 | 19:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | unless you want a digital card | 19:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then there is the HDHomerun or the pcHDTV 5500 | 19:26 |
| PhuKer | well i'm thinking digital only cause of the changes we are all facing here in NorthAmerica | 19:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if you want to capture component, there is the HDPVR, although i'm not sure on support at this point it is getting worked on | 19:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | Do you use an antenna? | 19:26 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, HDPVR is not an option yet | 19:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | foxbuntu, thanks | 19:26 |
| foxbuntu | take it from the guy that is just sitting on one | 19:27 |
| PhuKer | LOL | 19:27 |
| PhuKer | I'm using antenna | 19:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, then you are going to want either of those two cards I just said for digital | 19:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | there are probably more | 19:27 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but the HDHomerun is a nice dual tuner ethernet hookup piece of equipment | 19:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that most of the devs here have | 19:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC ^ | 19:28 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, also, all the PVR- cards from hauppauge are end of life | 19:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yea true, but not on ebay ;) | 19:28 |
| foxbuntu | ok got me there | 19:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | foxbuntu, you have a homerun right? | 19:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I think rhpot does too | 19:29 |
| foxbuntu | yea | 19:29 |
| foxbuntu | and superm1 | 19:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | i might be the only one without one | 19:29 |
| foxbuntu | they work pretty nice | 19:30 |
| PhuKer | thats one of the reasons why i like joining the -dev channels too asking them for the best supported cards... as well as the cards they have preference to use.. this makes my life easier when a dev usess such a device. | 19:30 |
| foxbuntu | PhuKer, most of our devs are in here | 19:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | well not......whoa, even laga's in here | 19:32 |

| tgm4883_laptop | https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+spec/backup-restore | 19:53 |
| Gun_Smoke | I am wondering if myth will be able to replace a set top box? We currently only pay for 2 and have a spare plasma getting no cable currently. | 20:18 |
| DGMurdockIII | hi | 20:29 |
| DGMurdockIII | is there any way to be able to watch a direct tv single on a mythbuntu media center | 20:30 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, yes, via analog tuners | 20:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | like the PVR-150 | 20:35 |
| DGMurdockIII | in mythbuntu | 20:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 20:35 |
| DGMurdockIII | ok but how dose it now i have paid for the service becse it need a accass card | 20:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you still need the directv box | 20:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you are just hooking it up to the computer via something like composite cables | 20:36 |
| DGMurdockIII | how world i go about that | 20:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need a capture card like a PVR-150 | 20:37 |
| DGMurdockIII | becse i have the direct tv tivo branded box | 20:37 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's end of life, but you might be able to find some | 20:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | or grab one on ebay | 20:38 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | DGMurdockIII: most tuners can accept svideo and the likes, you just run from your STB into the tuner over svideo | 20:38 |
| DGMurdockIII | yes i now i need a capture card/' tv uner | 20:38 |
| DGMurdockIII | card | 20:38 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | then you need to irblast or control the stb via some other method (usb or firewire on some) | 20:38 |
| DGMurdockIII | that not hard for me to get my dad run a computer store | 20:39 |
| PhuKer | rage4peace | 20:39 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | you should check and see if they have it first, as tgm4883_laptop said its end of life | 20:39 |
| PhuKer | srry boys | 20:39 |
| DGMurdockIII | how do it get the single from my direct tv box to the computer | 20:43 |
| DGMurdockIII | that what i want to now | 20:43 |
| * tgm4883_laptop sighs | 20:43 | |
| DGMurdockIII | and i now it invloves the capture card | 20:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | using a composite cable | 20:43 |
| DGMurdockIII | what on the direct tv box do i plug in to that will then plug in to my computer | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | let me try something different | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | first | 20:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which directv box do you have | 20:44 |
| DGMurdockIII | direct tv with tvio seris 2 phlips brand | 20:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, so something like this http://www.amazon.com/Philips-DSR6000R-DIRECTV-Receiver-Service/dp/B000050XL7 | 20:47 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, look at this, it is the PVR-150 card http://www.cooltechpc.com/ctpc/images/wintv_pvr-150_mce.jpg | 20:47 |
| DGMurdockIII | no | 20:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | notice the Yellow, Red, and White plugs | 20:48 |
| DGMurdockIII | minme not black | 20:48 |
| DGMurdockIII | yes | 20:48 |
| DGMurdockIII | i see that | 20:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 20:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | now look on the back of your directv box | 20:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and tell me if it has the same plugs on it | 20:49 |
| DGMurdockIII | yes it dose | 20:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 20:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | now | 20:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sec | 20:49 |
| DGMurdockIII | ok | 20:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you will need to get a cable that looks like this http://www.home-theater-accessories-resource.com/Images/Pictures/composite%20cable.jpg | 20:49 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if you don't have one already, you can pick it up at Wal-mart for like $4 | 20:50 |
| DGMurdockIII | i allread have one | 20:50 |
| DGMurdockIII | in the setup i have | 20:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then you hook one end up to those plugs on your directv box, and the other end up to your pvr-150 card's plugs | 20:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | be sure to match the colors | 20:50 |
| DGMurdockIII | yeah i now | 20:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | So that is how you get it onto your computer | 20:51 |
| DGMurdockIII | one other qustion will it still alow me to use the tivo for recording | 20:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 20:51 |
| thedarkon | how can i keep myth video scan in progressive mode all the time? | 20:51 |
| DGMurdockIII | will there ever be a option for that | 20:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 20:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I may be over simplifying that statement | 20:52 |
| DGMurdockIII | and i havent use the tv use iv only used online video so far but dose the tv start in full screen | 20:52 |
| DGMurdockIII | and will the direct tv guid still be avable\ | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, stop for a second | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | can i ask you a question? | 20:53 |
| DGMurdockIII | oryes | 20:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | why are you trying to build a mythbuntu box? | 20:53 |
| DGMurdockIII | ii have it in on a pc now | 20:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 20:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and you are just trying to get your tv on there now? | 20:54 |
| DGMurdockIII | and i like that it has the internet radio | 20:54 |
| DGMurdockIII | no not yet but soon becse the pc itius in is a too big of a case | 20:55 |
| DGMurdockIII | so im going to get a smaller case | 20:55 |
| DGMurdockIII | and transfer the parts to it | 20:55 |
| DGMurdockIII | what about the remote do i have to use the remote that come with the card | 20:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 20:57 |
| DGMurdockIII | or so i can still use the direct tv remote | 20:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in fact, i don't recommend it because I think the hauppauge remote is a crappy remote | 20:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you can, but you will need to get a USB IR receiver for it | 20:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and some extra setup will be required | 20:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, how many shows can you record at a time on your directv box? | 20:58 |
| DGMurdockIII | 2 | 20:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 20:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | note: you will only be able to record 1 at a time on your mythtv box * | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | * you will only be able to record one show per directv receiver that you have | 20:59 |
| foxbuntu | unless you have multiple tuner/directtv boxes | 20:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | foxbuntu's a little slow | 20:59 |
| foxbuntu | which tgm4883_laptop knows all about | 21:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | but yes, thanks for clarifying ;) | 21:00 |
| DGMurdockIII | the direct tv tvivo has two signels that how it able to record 2 hows at same time | 21:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, yes, but you can't output two signals at the same time from a directv box | 21:00 |
| DGMurdockIII | i was just wondering that | 21:01 |
| DGMurdockIII | is this better to use than linuxmce? | 21:02 |
| DGMurdockIII | ii like it so far better | 21:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | linuxmce is a different beast than mythbuntu | 21:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | they are for different purposes | 21:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | however, IMHO, linuxmce is crap | 21:03 |
| foxbuntu | +1 | 21:03 |
| tgm4883_laptop | before you go down this road, let me clarify something | 21:03 |
| DGMurdockIII | i thnk linukmce is to | 21:04 |
| DGMurdockIII | need alot of work | 21:04 |
| DGMurdockIII | linux | 21:04 |
| foxbuntu | tgm4883_laptop, btw...thanks for all the help getting my mythtv box working with my Dish | 21:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | If you want to have your TV and Media all in the same location, with the same recording functionality that you have now, you will need to pickup 2 analog tuners (or a dual tuner) and another directv box | 21:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you will also need a remote, in which case I recommend the MCEUSB2 (Windows Media Center Remotes) | 21:06 |
| DGMurdockIII | will the recording seculder still work on the direct tv box | 21:06 |
| tgm4883_laptop | DGMurdockIII, I forgot, you will also need a $20 yearly subscription to Schedules Direct if you live in the USA or Canada | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so no | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | basically you are moving the scheduling and recording features from the directv box to the mythtv box | 21:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | your directv box then becomes a dumb tuner | 21:08 |
| DGMurdockIII | ok | 21:08 |
| tgm4883_laptop | seriously? | 21:08 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | your welcome I guess | 21:08 |
| PhuKer | seems that my frontend is frozen | 22:35 |
| PhuKer | leave it to me to have issues... LOL | 22:36 |
| rhpot1991_laptop | you should prob change your name, ubuntu rooms are family rated | 22:38 |
| thedarkon | hello, how can i make mythtv video scan stay in progressive mode all the time? | 23:14 |
| laga | disable the deinterlacer | 23:17 |
| thedarkon | it is | 23:18 |
| thedarkon | it seem to stay in auto detect mode | 23:18 |
| thedarkon | in mythplayback | 23:19 |
