| VladomirJ | abarbaccia: my log is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88892/ | 01:03 |
| VladomirJ | and my xorg.conf is here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/88893 | 01:05 |
| VladomirJ | whoops, sorry, didn't see the mythbuntu pastebin link | 01:07 |
| kanuha | how can I add mythbuntu to an existing ubuntu installation? | 01:51 |
| grndslm | kanuha: sudo aptitude install mythtv | 01:53 |
| grndslm | or you can do aptitude search mythtv to find other packages if that's not the right one | 01:53 |
| grndslm | i think mythtv links to -frontend & -backend & -database etc. | 01:53 |
| grndslm | but i'm not positive | 01:54 |
| kanuha | will installing mythbuntu desktop within synaptic do the trick? | 01:55 |
| kanuha | I would like to have the control center and everything | 01:56 |
| grndslm | i honestly haven't used mythbuntu.... | 01:57 |
| kanuha | have you setup a dvb-s card? | 01:58 |
| grndslm | anything under mythbuntu-desktop should be exactly the same as what's in the mythbuntu distro | 01:58 |
| grndslm | nope... i'm still working with analog cable | 01:58 |
| grndslm | kanuha: where you from? | 01:59 |
| kanuha | thx, I'll try the desktop and see what it gives me | 01:59 |
| kanuha | Florida | 01:59 |
| grndslm | kanuha: who are you using dvb-s with? | 02:02 |
| grndslm | and are you sure your receiver will work with myth? | 02:03 |
| kanuha | Free to Air | 02:03 |
| kanuha | I have a PCI dvb-s card | 02:04 |
| grndslm | kanuha: do you mind explaining FTA? i just heard about it a week or two ago | 02:04 |
| grndslm | it's not illegal? | 02:05 |
| kanuha | no, not illegal unless you install extra software files | 02:05 |
| kanuha | many satelites broadcast unscrambled channels like PBS | 02:06 |
| kanuha | you don't get many unscrambled channels per satelite, so it's best to have a motor setup to search many satelites | 02:07 |
| grndslm | do you know how many channels you can receive? | 02:08 |
| kanuha | not anymore, switched from Windows to Linux and haven't found out how to setup my card yet. | 02:09 |
| grndslm | google the model no. of the card | 02:09 |
| kanuha | you can do a search for lysat on google and see the different satelites and channels they offer. It will show you which channels are free | 02:10 |
| kanuha | thats why I came here to find out how to install and setup mythbuntu and eventually get my card working with myth | 02:11 |
| kanuha | mythtv | 02:12 |
| kanuha | FTA is really just a hobby, I have Directv to watch | 02:13 |
| kanuha | It's kinda cool to show your friends that you can watch satelite tv on your computer and better yet when you can do it with a nice looking interface like mythtv | 02:15 |
| grndslm | kanuha: i just ask because I'm thinking of getting rid of cable tv as soon as my cable co. makes me rent their box which is prolly incompatible with mythtv | 02:15 |
| grndslm | kanuha: boxee is actually a better interface than mythtv | 02:15 |
| grndslm | well, not yet... but as soon as it's stable, boxee is gonna be everywhere | 02:16 |
| grndslm | it's still in alpha stages right now | 02:16 |
| kanuha | I will look it up, thx | 02:16 |
| grndslm | it's invite only, so if you'd like one... just ask | 02:16 |
| grndslm | kanuha: what bands do you use with FTA? | 02:17 |
| kanuha | not sure what you mean by bands | 02:17 |
| grndslm | the lyngsat site lists providers that use different bads, i believe? | 02:18 |
| grndslm | do you use a motor on your dish? | 02:19 |
| kanuha | yes I use/d motor. I believe it is ku band | 02:25 |
| kanuha | wow boxee looks and sounds cool | 02:25 |
| grndslm | yea, you can watch recorded myth feed just by adding "myth://localhost" | 02:26 |
| grndslm | pretty sweet | 02:26 |
| kanuha | can I get it by entering my email on their page? | 02:26 |
| grndslm | nope... invite only | 02:27 |
| grndslm | want one? | 02:27 |
| kanuha | yes please | 02:28 |
| grndslm | email? | 02:29 |
| kanuha | sent in a separate window | 02:30 |
| grndslm | sent... i think | 02:31 |
| grndslm | the newest version is pretty buggy for me because they just added a bunch of features, but in a couple weeks... it should be pretty stable again | 02:32 |
| kanuha | got it, thx. from the video they showed if they can get it stable it will be sweet | 02:34 |
| grndslm | very | 02:35 |
| kanuha | installing now | 02:40 |
| grndslm | kanuha: do you know what provider you have for FTA? | 02:40 |
| grndslm | i'm in gulfport, ms ... so it shouldn't be much different from yours | 02:41 |
| kanuha | no provider, just an old dish network dish 500 | 02:42 |
| grndslm | hmm... so how do you set it up then? | 02:43 |
| grndslm | aren't there files you need to update every month or something? | 02:43 |
| grndslm | or is that for the pay channels? | 02:43 |
| grndslm | so confused by FTA | 02:43 |
| kanuha | no files for real fta. most frontends (at least on the windows side) come with a satelite list, you just pick the one you are aimed at and scan for channels | 02:45 |
| grndslm | so every satellite will offer you different stations? | 02:46 |
| kanuha | it's important with real fta to do a scan as often as possible. sometimes you will get lucky and get a channel that should be scrambled but isn't | 02:47 |
| kanuha | but they don't last too long before they do scramble it | 02:47 |
| kanuha | I think it just happens when they move channels around | 02:48 |
| kanuha | not every satelite offers you a different channel. Some satelites have the same channels or at least show the same programs on say like PBS at the same time | 02:49 |
| grndslm | strange | 02:51 |
| kanuha | I'm a PBS watcher, for my kids. nice clean channels. but fta is real limited. I wouldn't use it as my primary means of tv | 02:51 |
| grndslm | i'm thinking of going mostly all boxee & OTA-HD once the cable co stops offering analog cable | 02:53 |
| grndslm | soo... FTA might not be so bad | 02:53 |
| grndslm | kanuha: what other channels do you get? discovery? national geographic? spiketv? comedy central? (prolly not the last two) | 02:54 |
| kanuha | I wish I could remember, I switched back and forth between directv and fta. so not really sure what i watch on what device. Like I said, it was just a hobby, a cool thing to show friends. | 02:58 |
| kanuha | I know there is more you can do with it, but I haven't gone that route. My brother-in-law orders all the fights (boxing & ufc) and his friends pitch in for the cost. I get in free as a family member :-) | 03:00 |
| kanuha | He has a projection system that is unreal, takes up the whole wall | 03:01 |
| kanuha | just watched the del la hoya fight and they were larger than life | 03:02 |
| === ball is now known as ball_ | ||
| grndslm | kanuha: what kinda dvb-s card you got? | 03:15 |
| kanuha | skystar2 PCI or something like that | 03:26 |
