| jtee | I'm woefully behind in the ubuntu department on my mythbuntu box (8.10)... upgrading now | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| jtee | maybe that will help | 00:04 |
| superm1 | it's quite possible | 00:06 |
| superm1 | it's a new mythtv version, all sorts of bugs fixed in 9.10 | 00:06 |
| jtee | it'll take awhile to upgrade that far ;-) | 00:06 |
| superm1 | well you might cut your losses then and backup the database instead? | 00:07 |
| superm1 | then fresh install 9.10 and restore the DB | 00:07 |
| superm1 | directions at http://mythbuntu.org/upgrading | 00:07 |
| Technophil | !set default volume | 00:10 |
| Zinn | Sorry I don't know about set default volume | 00:10 |
| rhpot1991 | Technophil: setup>general>page 3 | 00:11 |
| rhpot1991 | I think | 00:11 |
| rhpot1991 | some tuners also have a volume control, check your recording groups for that | 00:11 |
| Technophil | rhpot1991: That's not the setting thats an issue. Its the default slide top right of the desktop that's the issue. | 00:14 |
| Technophil | When booting its reset to 0 | 00:14 |
| rhpot1991 | Technophil: I think what you want to do is run sudo alsamixer | 00:14 |
| rhpot1991 | exit out of that and it should save | 00:14 |
| Technophil | Will try. (Running mixer from the Multimedia menu does not seem to retain the setting on reboot either.) | 00:16 |
| Technophil | Also I wondered if mythtv sets the volume to 0 when it exits as it does when jumping etc. | 00:17 |
| rhpot1991 | I think you need to run as sudo for it to save, if that doesn't work google, there are some ways of forcing alsamixer changes to save | 00:17 |
| Technophil | K, thanks the search phrase "alsamixer" is probably what I was missing. | 00:18 |

| bonelifer | I'm looking to use a usb bluetooth adapter for A2DP(stereo). is this support out of the box or do I need to install a certain bluetooth stack? | 01:21 |
| innatech | Having problems w/M-buntu Karmic and an HVR-1600 card (CX-18 based) -- S-Video is recording only green bars and garbled audio. | 03:00 |
| innatech | vMalloc has been cranked up, and I've installed the latest nVidia drivers that work w/my card (6800 XT AGP). | 03:01 |

| CPrompt^ | hi. i am going to set up a MythBuntu box and need a recommendation for a TVTuner card. PCI. Something not real expensive is preferable | 19:07 |
| CPrompt^ | any suggestions? | 19:07 |
| mrand | CPrompt^: That question is a huge can of worms. It depends on where you are in the world, combined with what types of video source(s) you have. You'll also have to define "not real expensive." http://mythbuntu.org/developer-hardware is what the developers have. Your best bet though is to look over the mythtv.org wiki - they have a decent database of tuners. | 19:12 |
| CPrompt^ | mrand: ah....I guess that would be helpful. I am in the States. By not real expensive I mean something around $50.00 $60.00 if possible | 19:14 |
| CPrompt^ | I have looked at the wiki but I don't really get what some of it is talking about | 19:15 |
| CPrompt^ | I guess ATSC is the way to go | 19:15 |
| mrand | Do you have a STB that you are capturing from, or are you trying to go over the air? | 19:15 |
| CPrompt^ | STB? | 19:15 |
| mrand | or QAM directly from cable. | 19:15 |
| CPrompt^ | cable | 19:15 |
| mrand | set-top-box (dish or cable) | 19:15 |
| CPrompt^ | no, no STB | 19:16 |
| CPrompt^ | just cable into the house | 19:16 |
| CPrompt^ | they run it from the line outside into the house | 19:16 |
| mrand | ok, so you either want over the air or QAM (Which means only free channels) | 19:16 |
| CPrompt^ | what is QAM? | 19:16 |
| mrand | ATSC is over the air digital. QAM is digital over cable. | 19:17 |
| CPrompt^ | ah yes. QAM is it then | 19:17 |
| rhpot1991 | analog is dead/dying too, so that might hurt your choices | 19:17 |
| CPrompt^ | actually Time Warner went digital. does that matter? | 19:17 |
| rhpot1991 | for QAM I'd recommend a HDHR | 19:18 |
| rhpot1991 | well CPrompt^ most likely you cannot receive any digital channels except your locals unless you have some sort of stb | 19:18 |
| mrand | for either ATSC or QAM, HDHR is the favorite, by far. But it's closer to $120 or so I think. Maybe on sale for a bit cheaper from time to time. Or get a discount using bing cashback on ebay. | 19:18 |
| rhpot1991 | 150 I thought | 19:19 |
| rhpot1991 | or the last time I checked | 19:19 |
| CPrompt^ | so on the list of cards here : http://bit.ly/apAOLu I should probably start with the ATSC | 19:19 |
| Zinn | [bit.ly] Video capture card - MythTV | 19:19 |
| rhpot1991 | the extra cash is worth avoiding the headaches though :) | 19:20 |
| mrand | Google products lists $130. If you go with the single tuner model, new egg has it for $100 | 19:20 |
| CPrompt^ | i don't see HDHR in the list of cards on that page | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | Silicondust HDHomeRun (MythTV >= 0.20) (8-VSB/QAM64/QAM256) | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | its there | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | also splurge for the 2 tuner, you will thank me later | 19:21 |
| mrand | hahah | 19:21 |
| CPrompt^ | that says it's an external HDTV tuner?? | 19:21 |
| rhpot1991 | CPrompt^: they have a page where you can check and see what channels you can get | 19:22 |
| mrand | It's Ethernet based. | 19:22 |
| rhpot1991 | CPrompt^: ya it runs on your network | 19:22 |
| CPrompt^ | ah | 19:22 |
| rhpot1991 | CPrompt^: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us | 19:22 |
| Zinn | [www.silicondust.com] hdhomerun/channels - Silicondust | 19:22 |
| mrand | bbl | 19:23 |
| CPrompt^ | what about something like this : http://bit.ly/93jVxh | 19:27 |
| Zinn | [bit.ly] Newegg.com - Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 ATSC/ClearQAM/NTSC TV Tuner MC-Kit 1183 PCI Interface - TV Tuners & Video Devices | 19:27 |
| rhpot1991 | CPrompt^: in theory it should work well for you | 19:28 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm pretty sure that card is supported out of the box now | 19:29 |
| CPrompt^ | i wold just like to have the computer and that's it. Not another box sitting there. That thing looks really nice though | 19:29 |
| CPrompt^ | if I had more room, then it would be cool | 19:29 |
| rhpot1991 | CPrompt^: well with the HDHR you can put it anywhere on your network | 19:29 |
| rhpot1991 | in your garage/attic/basement/bathroom/wherever | 19:29 |
| CPrompt^ | oh | 19:30 |
| rhpot1991 | I personally put mine right next to my backend, but personal preference | 19:30 |
| rhpot1991 | either one should work with you, but with the HDHR you have the added bonus that 3 of the main developers here use that so its tested extra well every release | 19:30 |
| CPrompt^ | good point | 19:31 |
| rhpot1991 | CPrompt^: you could always just watch for a sale | 19:31 |
| CPrompt^ | BestBuy has it for $100 which isn't bad | 19:31 |
| rhpot1991 | the HDHR does mulri-rec too, not sure if the others do, so you can record more than 2 shows at once if the channels align correctly | 19:32 |
| CPrompt^ | silly question I guess but how does the "cable" get into the Silicone box? | 19:32 |
| CPrompt^ | if it's on my network and not going through my actual cable | 19:32 |
| rhpot1991 | 2 cable jacks on the back of it | 19:32 |
| CPrompt^ | oh! so it does need to have access to the cable line just like a TV | 19:32 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageGallery.aspx?CurImage=15-327-005-S04&ISList=15-327-005-S01%2c15-327-005-S02%2c15-327-005-S03%2c15-327-005-S04%2c15-327-005-S05&S7ImageFlag=1&Item=N82E16815327005&Depa=0&WaterMark=1&Description=SiliconDust%20HDHomeRun%20Network-based%20Dual%20Digital%20HDTV%20Tuner%20Ethernet%20Interface | 19:33 |
| Zinn | [www.newegg.com] Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! | 19:33 |
| rhpot1991 | thats a shot of the back of it | 19:33 |
| CPrompt^ | ok. so the network part is just to interface with the MythTV box | 19:34 |
| rhpot1991 | yes | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991 | the tuners are avialable to anything on your network | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991 | so your mythbox, or if you want silicon dust has a configuration gui that will launch vlc to watch | 19:35 |
| rhpot1991 | which we are shipping with lucid | 19:36 |
| CPrompt^ | great. thanks for all the information. all the ATSC and QAM etc...were starting to really confuse me | 19:36 |
| CPrompt^ | VLC is going to be in Lucid? | 19:36 |
| CPrompt^ | awesome | 19:36 |
| rhpot1991 | vlc is in ubuntu already, I meant the HDHR config GUI | 19:37 |
| CPrompt^ | is it? LOL I thought I installed it on Karmic | 19:39 |
| mrand | CPrompt^: the one(s) for $100 are single tuner... only one cable input. I'd side with rhpot1991 and encourage you to pay a few extra bucks for the dual input. | 19:44 |
| mrand | The single tuner looks to be available for $80 to $90 | 19:54 |
| rhpot1991 | double tuner is cheaper than 2x single tuners | 19:55 |
| rhpot1991 | invest now, worry less later | 19:56 |
