[00:59] <benitron> I can get video but no audio from my tv tuner can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it
[02:00] <nikosapi> hey, can I plug in a TV card after installation, or is it easier to just plug everything in and run the installer?
[02:02] <Daviey> nikosapi: no difference
[02:04] <nikosapi> cool, thanks Daviey
[02:47] <doje_> can anyone recommend a usb ir blaster that will work with 8.10 out-of-the-box ?
[02:57] <BandC> hi. the "working tv tuners" page recommends hauppauge PVR cards for analog but no one is selling those anymore in US. what tv tuner should I get? any other working brand/model to replace the hauppauge PVR recommendation?
[03:26] <kleewyck> knock knock is anyone home?
[03:34] <sigmab3ta> hello guys, i am trying to set up mythtv on a standard ubuntu installation. I have an MSI TV@nywhere card and i've succeeded in getting it to show an image, but both it and the sound are much faster than normal and it has to stop like every half a second to sync up again.
[03:34] <sigmab3ta> how can i fix that?
[11:18] <dreixel> I set up mythbuntu on a normal monitor, and after having it installed moved it to my tv. The tv has vga input, so it uses exactly the same output as when i used the monitor. But now I get no image (past the startup phase, so when X starts). Any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks.
[11:56] <dreixel> uhm, actually I don't get an image even if I boot from the livecd...
[12:01] <dreixel> it works in safe graphics mode, though.
[14:29] <Mordhorst> hi all!
[14:30] <Mordhorst> someone can give me a hint regarding to dvb-c in germany?
[14:31] <laga> what do you need to know?
[14:31] <Mordhorst> i actually running a satelco pci dvb-c card in my mythtv box. but i can not find all channels. a native receiver on the same connections can do so.
[14:32] <Mordhorst> there´s a ci/cam on the card (Alphacrypt classic version 3.16 with keycard)
[14:32] <Mordhorst> btw. my provider is unitymedia
[14:32] <laga> but you do find some channels?
[14:33] <laga> what channels are you missing?
[14:33] <Mordhorst> i do find some channels but none of them works... black screen. i miss some channels (like RTL, SAT.1, ProSieben)
[14:33] <laga> hum
[14:33] <laga> how's signal strength?
[14:34] <Mordhorst> about 90 to 95%
[14:34] <laga> and SNR?
[14:34] <Mordhorst> about 85
[14:34] <laga> does it work without the CAM?
[14:34] <laga> pro7 etc are not encrypted on unitymedia AFAIK
[14:34] <Mordhorst> haven´t tried that yet
[14:35] <Mordhorst> dmesg shows up the cam
[14:35] <laga> oh, it's encrypted, never mind
[14:35] <Mordhorst> only a very few channels on unitymedia are not encrypted.
[14:36] <Mordhorst> i have tried some windoze based software already (sceneo or media portal), but none of them finds all channels. so maybe i have to blame the satelco card for that?
[14:38] <laga> yeah. maybe the cable is too long
[14:38] <laga> or reception is bad
[14:38] <laga> i get lots of artefacts in my new appartment.. but also my cable is very long
[14:39] <Mordhorst> i tried the cable which i normally use for connecting the native receiver (which works fine), but it does not really work
[14:40] <laga> maybe your PSU is cheap and breaks reception
[14:40] <laga> or try a different PCI slot
[14:40] <Mordhorst> there´s only one PCI slot. ;)
[14:41] <Mordhorst> but i may try a stronger psu
[14:41] <Mordhorst> so you don´t think it´s the card?
[14:41] <laga> it could be everything :)
[14:41] <Mordhorst> lol ok
[14:41] <laga> btw, i also own the same card (knc1)
[14:41] <laga> well, it's the same design
[14:42] <Mordhorst> which provider are you using?
[14:42] <laga> kabel deutschland
[14:42] <Mordhorst> hm ok
[14:42] <laga> Mordhorst: there's also a german channel: #mythtv-de
[14:42] <Mordhorst> will connect to that additionally... thx for the hint

I followed the mythtv Wiki on how to set it up, I edited my xorg.conf and XvMCConfig, and XVideo-MotionCompensation is being loaded, but mythtv is giving me a VideoOutputXv: Desired video renderer 'xvmc-blit' not available error.

[16:40] <PeteB> hi. How do I upgrade mythbuntu 8.04 to 8.10 using the CD? I added it to my software sources but it said only 1 file was to be upgraded. The Ubuntu install instructuions say to run a file called 'cdromupgrade' on the Alternate CD but that doesn't exist on the Mythbuntu CD.

[17:08] <frozenskunk> Anyone know how to get the TV output of a Hauppauge 350 working under 8.10? I have gotten it to display test patterns and such, but when I try to move my display over by changing my xorg.conf file, it tries to boot, but dumps me to a command line login (which is at least displayed on the TV instead of the monitor) instead of into an x session

[17:12] <fatmonk1> Having trouble getting TV-out to work again on an nVidia 8500GT. Was working a couple of weeks ago, then had to do a reinstall from scratch. Now running 8.10, and just can't get anything on the TV (via S-Video). When I click identify in nvidia-settings the TV screen does flicker and sometimes shows something like my screen. xorg.conf at http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com/mb7e9e8f
[17:17] <MythbuntuGuest80> i am stuck, i have been running mythbuntu for a couple of months now, i created a new directory in my videos directory then when i went into myth and went to video manager the program froze
[17:17] <MythbuntuGuest80> i rebooted and now it just goes to BusyBox about 5 seconds of showing the Mythbuntu splash
[17:32] <MythbuntuGuest80> can anyone please help me, i don't want to do a new install if there is a chance i can save my data.
[17:33] <mrand> I can't help much at the moment, but you might look up how to disable the splash and quiet mode on your bootline and see if you can see if any error messages are showing up.
[18:13] <fatmonk2> ok, here's an easy one then... where do i find the mount tab file?
[18:13] <Tuv0k> mtab?
[18:15] <fatmonk2> Tuv0k>that's the one! want to back it up as finally have a reasonable disk build, and keep having to rebuild. that'll save a bit of hassle.
[18:16] <Tuv0k> mtab is not the file to back up
[18:16] <Tuv0k> maybe ou want to backup fstab?
[18:16] <Tuv0k> and all files can be found with a search
[18:17] <Tuv0k> cnfig files are in /etc
[18:19] <fatmonk2> Tuv0k> fstab is the other i'm after, yup. mtab was mountab (or similar) in th unix versions I've usaed back a few years ago. been searching for various versions of that name, but not mtab (typical!)
[18:20] <fatmonk2> now if i could get this nvidia xorg issue sorted maybe I wouldn't
[18:20] <fatmonk2> keep having to rebuild...
[18:25] <Tuv0k> what nvidia issue?
[18:29] <fatmonk2> Tuv0k>cannot for the life of me get tv-out working again. Was working no problem on my original 8.04 build, but that ended up trashed trying to get lirc working (thats still on th list!). A reinstall of 8.04 yesterday left me with no tv-out, as has an 8.10 install.
[18:30] <fatmonk2> Tuv0k> i get flickers on the tv as the box boots, and if i click identify when i have cloned twinview set up i sometimes get a very short (<1s) glimpse of the desktop, but just as a flicker in the middle of the screen.
[18:31] <Tuv0k> sorry to hear that I don't use TV-out

[19:44] <wos> hi
[19:44] <wos> anyone here?
[19:45] <wos> hello!
[19:45] <wos> hi
[19:45] <wos> bonjour
[19:45] <wos> hallo
[19:45] <wos> hola
[19:47] <wos> :(
[19:47] <wos> :'(
[19:49] <wos> are you here?
[19:51] <tgm4883_laptop> !ask | wos
[19:51] <Zinn> wos: Please don't ask if anyone is around or if it is alright to ask a question.  Many people check back periodically and may answer your question when they see it.  IRC is not normally an instant fix so check back often for an answer.
[19:55] <wos> can anyone tell me how i can recieve digital cable tv on my ubuntu laptop? i already have a digital cablebox, all i need is something to put the coaxial cable into, right? also, is there anyway to do this wireless?
[19:56] <wos> tgm4883_laptop:
[19:57] <tgm4883_laptop> wos, there is a dev meeting going on right now, you will have to wait a bit for an answer
[19:57] <wos> how long?
[19:58] <tgm4883_laptop> maybe 15 minutes?
[19:58] <tgm4883_laptop> maybe an hour
[20:14] <tgm4883_laptop> wos, you need either to stream via firewire or get a digital tuner card for your laptop
[20:14] <mrand> wos, You need a video capture device or firewire input.
[20:14] <mrand> hahaha
[20:14] <mrand> jinks tgm4883
[20:14] <tgm4883_laptop> oh noes, I owe you a coke
[20:14] <mrand> *laugh*
[20:15] <mrand> I actually need to go.  See ya!
[20:15] <tgm4883_laptop> wos, wirelessly, you will either need to have a separate backend that records the shows, or have a digital tuner card and hook it up to an antenna
[20:18] <wos> tgm4883_laptop: will this work?:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1961041&CatId=1427

[20:20] <tgm4883_laptop> thats not a digital tuner
[20:20] <tgm4883_laptop> I mean, it might work
[20:20] <tgm4883_laptop> providing that it is supported in Linux
[20:21] <wos> well i have coaxial output coming from the digital cable box, all i need is a tuner right?

[20:22] <Zinn> http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Tuner_Card#Cards_that_work
[20:22] <wos> thanks! but now, what KIND of card do i need??
[20:23] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, so you have 2 options
[20:23] <wos> ok
[20:24] <tgm4883_laptop> you only need an analog capture card if you are going to use your cable box
[20:24] <wos> ok
[20:25] <tgm4883_laptop> that thing you linked to would work if its supported in linux
[20:25] <wos> ok
[20:26] <tgm4883_laptop> you might want to google the name of that device and linux and see what other people say about it
[20:26] <wos> i did
[20:26] <wos> nothing came up
[20:26] <wos> its a cheapo off beat tuner
[20:26] <tgm4883_laptop> yea usually not good
[20:27] <wos> so analog cards are the cheapest?
[20:27] <tgm4883_laptop> well analog cards have been around for longer, but everything is going digital in the US so they will be harder to come by
[20:28] <wos> ok
[20:28] <tgm4883_laptop> if you do get an analog card, make sure it has a hardware encoder in it
[20:28] <wos> and how do i find a USB tuner that will be compatible with linux?
[20:28] <tgm4883_laptop> software encoders will be cheaper, but IMO they aren't worth it
[20:28] <wos> hardware encoder?
[20:29] <tgm4883_laptop> yea, it has a chip that will compress the shows for you
[20:29] <tgm4883_laptop> otherwise your CPU has to do it
[20:30] <tgm4883_laptop> if you go to that page I linked to, there is a section called "USB Capture Cards "
[20:30] <wos> oh ok
[20:30] <tgm4883_laptop> i'd find a card there, then go buy it ;)
[20:30] <wos> thanks. can i add you to my buddy list in yahoo gtalk or any other
[20:31] <wos> if not thats ok
[20:31] <tgm4883_laptop> if I had gtalk maybe
[20:31] <BandC> which hauppage PVR card should I buy?
[20:31] <tgm4883_laptop> but I don't
[20:31] <wos> do you have any other messenger?
[20:31] <tgm4883_laptop> BandC, that would depend on what you want to watch
[20:31] <tgm4883_laptop> wos, the best place to find me is on here
[20:31] <tgm4883_laptop> or the forums
[20:31] <BandC> cable from cable box
[20:31] <wos> which forum?
[20:32] <tgm4883_laptop> !forums
[20:32] <Zinn> The Mythbuntu forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301.  If you aren't getting a timely response here, there are lots of very active individuals there that may be able to help.
[20:33] <tgm4883_laptop> BandC, well you have a few options.  If you are in the US and it's a digital cable box you can use firewire
[20:33] <tgm4883_laptop> otherwise, i'd grab a cheap PVR-150 off ebay
[20:33] <BandC> im in US and its digital cable
[20:33] <tgm4883_laptop> BandC, then I'd use firewire, unless you want to record premium channels
[20:33] <BandC> firewire? like which card?
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> BandC, most any firewire card should do
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> I think there is a list here
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> !firewire
[20:34] <Zinn> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Firewire
[20:34] <tgm4883_laptop> hmm
[20:34] <BandC> hmm sounds more complicated
[20:34] <BandC> PVR-150 would record everything?
[20:35] <tgm4883_laptop> BandC, it will record anything that your cablebox will tune
[20:35] <tgm4883_laptop> must run, lunch
[20:35] <BandC> tanks
[20:51] <wos> tgm4883_laptop: do you know where i could find pcmcia express card tuners?
[21:22] <fatmonk> anybody fancy giving me a bit of lirc config help?
[21:31] <fatmonk> Just to add to the temptation - Antec Fusion Black 430 LCD with PAD remote. Followed instructions to get LCD and remote working. LCD good :-) but with irw I only get mouse movement / pad movement / up don left right, numbers and left- and right- click give me any codes... dunno what to do next really...
