| puff | Hey, so my new TV only has HDMI in, and my current graphics card only has S-video out. | 02:44 |
| puff | What HDMI-capable graphics card is recommended for mythbuntu on an asus e1870 p4p 800 s-x motherboard? | 02:45 |
| puff | I don't have a cable card and I'm not too interested in getting one, because all the stuff I want to watch isn't on the unencrypted channels. | 02:45 |
| puff | But I wouldn't mind getting a remote control... | 02:45 |
| dewman | puff, I am in the process of modding a old xbox IR reciever to work with myth...Not sure what anyone else is using... | 03:22 |
| symptom | any recommendations on a PCI capture card for digital tv in the us. | 03:38 |
| dewman | symptom, are you using ota? | 03:51 |
| dewman | or are you using cable/sat/ coat-hanger? | 03:52 |
| symptom | coat hanger OTA | 03:54 |
| rhpot1991 | HDHR | 03:54 |
| rhpot1991 | not pci, but its the best | 03:54 |
| dewman | if you have no intention of getting cable or sat, why not grab a HDHR | 03:54 |
| dewman | and you dont have to have it out in the open, stick under the couch so the wife doesnt see it. | 03:55 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BEEDBE?ie=UTF8&tag=baablogicnet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003BEEDBE | 03:55 |
| rhpot1991 | thats a very good price too | 03:56 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, yes it is....I might just grab one to have another tuner.. | 03:56 |
| dewman | dual is 131 | 03:57 |
| symptom | That is a good price. I thought they were more expensive | 03:57 |
| symptom | I cant find much on the specs | 03:57 |
| symptom | so the dual tuner is 170 | 03:58 |
| symptom | still cheaper than most current PCI tuners | 03:59 |
| dewman | dual tuner is 131 on amazon. | 03:59 |
| symptom | no HDD on it thought right? I tis just hte tuner, so mythtv does the recording scheduling, etc | 04:00 |
| dewman | yep. its just a tuner... | 04:00 |
| dewman | http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun | 04:00 |
| Zinn | [www.mythtv.org] Silicondust HDHomeRun - MythTV | 04:00 |
| dewman | that attaches via cat5 to your network. | 04:02 |
| rhpot1991 | you can attach it directly to a computer too, no need for a crossover or anything | 04:03 |
| rhpot1991 | thats how I do mine | 04:03 |
| rhpot1991 | have a pci nic and then ethernet attached to that | 04:03 |
| symptom | but if I were to get cable then I would need an analog tuner, to record shows from my cable box right? | 04:03 |
| * rhpot1991 grumbles about this cheap netgear router which caused that setup | 04:03 | |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: well, the HDHR can record clear qam | 04:03 |
| rhpot1991 | so normally you will get your OTA channels over that through cable, no need for an antenna | 04:04 |
| rhpot1991 | with most providors that is all you will see | 04:04 |
| rhpot1991 | analog is going away in most places, so that most likely wont help you much other than short term | 04:04 |
| rhpot1991 | something like the HD-PVR and a set top box from your cable provider will help you record the rest | 04:04 |
| dewman | if you get cable (comcast/blah) I would suggest a HD-pvr1212 with that guy, it has all the outputs that you can pipe into mythtv. | 04:05 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018LX0DY?ie=UTF8&tag=baablogicnet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0018LX0DY | 04:05 |
| dewman | rhpot1991, you beat me to it.. | 04:05 |
| dewman | lol | 04:05 |
| rhpot1991 | thats my setup, HDHR and a HD-PVR | 04:05 |
| rhpot1991 | some firewire, and some no longer used analog hauppauge cards | 04:05 |
| symptom | lets say I moved out to the booneys and I didnt have the skill/space/etc to build a sick antenna. So I buy cable the output of my cable box is still analog right? so i would need an analog tuner? | 04:05 |
| rhpot1991 | http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/13 | 04:06 |
| Zinn | [www.baablogic.net] My MythTV Setup | www.baablogic.net | 04:06 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: analog is dead in the US | 04:06 |
| rhpot1991 | all broadcast is digital and almost all cable providers are cutting off analog and going digital only | 04:06 |
| rhpot1991 | I suppose if you weren't doing HD, and used one of the DTAs you could record over analog | 04:07 |
| rhpot1991 | provided you can find an analog card for sale these days | 04:07 |
| dewman | i've got some old frame grabbers... =) | 04:08 |
| dewman | wintv.... | 04:08 |
| rhpot1991 | yes, stay away from frame grabbers | 04:09 |
| rhpot1991 | you could prob find a hauppauge 150 card on ebay or something | 04:09 |
| rhpot1991 | http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=hauppauge+pvr+150&_sacat=See-All-Categories | 04:10 |
| Zinn | [shop.ebay.com] hauppauge pvr 150, Computers Networking, hauppauge pvr 500. Great deals on eBay! | 04:10 |
| rhpot1991 | most of those prices, I'd say just get a HDHR instead | 04:10 |
| symptom | thanks all | 04:11 |
| dewman | or if you really feel like being a geek, get a rss reader, then go find a webpage (that I wont name) that searches all of craigslist and pull all the listings for what your searching for via rss... =) | 04:11 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: make sense? | 04:11 |
| symptom | it does. I would need the dual tuner in order to record a show and watch live TV. | 04:12 |
| symptom | but I suppose I would need two PCI cards to do that anyway. | 04:12 |
| rhpot1991 | there are some pci cards that have dual tuners | 04:13 |
| rhpot1991 | or one analog one digital (some of these only work in digital, so read up) | 04:13 |
| symptom | So I can use a patch cable to go direct from the HDHR to my PC? No crossover or switch? | 04:13 |
| rhpot1991 | yep | 04:13 |
| rhpot1991 | thats how I do mine | 04:13 |
| dewman | or hybrid tuner (which you dont want) (I made that mistake) | 04:13 |
| rhpot1991 | and if you are using mythtv .22 or newer, then you can use whats called multi-rec with the HDHR | 04:13 |
| symptom | hybrid is both analog and digital on one input dewman ? | 04:14 |
| rhpot1991 | it lets you record multiple programs on each tuner as long as they are on the same multiplex | 04:14 |
| rhpot1991 | so for instance I can record on cbs and fox (I think) at the same time | 04:14 |
| dewman | refrain that... the hybrid that I have is a not so great one... | 04:14 |
| rhpot1991 | and only use one tuner | 04:14 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: if you get anything analog, make sure it does hardware encoding, anything that is a frame grabber will waste cpu to record | 04:15 |
| symptom | multi-rec? So I can record two stations at the same time with one tuner? | 04:15 |
| rhpot1991 | that goes for any hybrid that does analog too | 04:15 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: yep | 04:15 |
| symptom | how do I know if two stations are on the same multiplex | 04:15 |
| rhpot1991 | I can record 4 shows at once with my HDHR, you can push it beyond that but your channel layout will most likely make it not very useful | 04:16 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us | 04:16 |
| Zinn | [www.silicondust.com] hdhomerun/channels - Silicondust | 04:16 |
| rhpot1991 | plug your zip into there | 04:16 |
| symptom | so dewman even if Im just using the digital capability of the hvr-1600 (which is hybrid?) that is not recommended? | 04:17 |
| symptom | rhpot1991, 4 shows on one tuner? | 04:18 |
| dewman | no no no....I jumped the gun... | 04:18 |
| rhpot1991 | hvr-1600 is ok I think, there are 2 versions of it one that can do clear qam and one that can't | 04:18 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: 4 shows, 2 tuners | 04:18 |
| rhpot1991 | I have the dual tuner HDHR | 04:18 |
| dewman | my fingers were typing but my brain was not communicating with them.... | 04:18 |
| symptom | haha. ok so I want clear QAM if i go with the hybrid? | 04:19 |
| symptom | or 1600 is not hyrbrid? | 04:19 |
| dewman | no its not... it has seperate atsc and ntsc tuners | 04:21 |
| rhpot1991 | I think most "hybrid" tuners are just one of each, no? | 04:22 |
| rhpot1991 | one card, one of each | 04:22 |
| symptom | ok | 04:23 |
| symptom | so that http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us link is pretty sick. Are the 256QAM stations that it shows unencrypted? So once my cable is on I can go direct from the wall to my HDHR or HVR-xxxx | 04:24 |
| Zinn | [www.silicondust.com] hdhomerun/channels - Silicondust | 04:24 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: most likely your cable company is transitioning analog away | 04:24 |
| rhpot1991 | they will more analog channels to clear qam and leave them there for a bit, then eventually those will get encrypted | 04:24 |
| symptom | ok | 04:24 |
| rhpot1991 | all you can reliably hope for are your local OTA channels | 04:25 |
| rhpot1991 | I'm ignoring my analog channels in clear qam, cause one day they will be gone, I'd rather not get used to them being there | 04:25 |
| symptom | ha | 04:25 |
| symptom | rhpot1991, so you pay for cable? | 04:27 |
| rhpot1991 | symptom: yes | 04:31 |
| rhpot1991 | I picked out an antenna and was ready to get rid of it, till my wife got angry about said decision | 04:31 |
| tgm4883 | dang women ;) | 04:32 |
| rhpot1991 | heh, agreed | 04:32 |
| rhpot1991 | I woulda been sad about missing live sports | 04:32 |
| symptom | most major sporting events are on network tv though.... | 06:53 |
| ak74 | hello | 10:49 |
| === _Metoer is now known as Metoer | ||
| stuarticus | Hi everyone, can anyone advise on upgrading to 10.04 when it is released? Do I need to change my sources? At the moment if I run update-manager -d I get an option to upgrade, which is presumably from the main repository, is this safe or should I wait, or even consider a clean install? | 11:31 |
| ak74 | Hi, I am new to Linux and have installed Mythbuntu. I have a Hauppauge wintv pvr 500 card installed. I also installed ivtv. It will recoginize the card but will not get any channels. when I go to watch tv on the frontend, it says please wait and then goes back to the frontend menu. If I scan for channels, it says no signal lock. I am on comcast cable. | 12:23 |
| ak74 | Thanks in advance | 12:23 |
| Bezzeb | Hi all - repeat of question from yesterday: I'm looking to hire a mythbuntu appliance developer. Any tips on where I can go to get someone familiar with Myth TV - and also aware of the constraints that go into making a sealed product for casual customer usage? My company already has a streaming video service, and we already have a development team on the project, but we have a slot to fill to bring appliance development knowledge onto the team. | 12:36 |
| Daviey | Bezzeb: Whilst it's unconventional, and if too many people did it it would have to be stopped; I would send your requestto the ubuntu-mythtv mailing list. | 12:38 |
| Daviey | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-mythtv | 12:38 |
| Zinn | [lists.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu-mythtv Info Page | 12:38 |
| Bezzeb | Hi Daviey, I thought about the mailing list, but then I remembered my old days on lists where requests like mind would be met with a degree of flame. :) Are you on the list? Would they accept my inquiry in good spirits? | 12:40 |
| Daviey | Bezzeb: it's a low volume one, and i think it will be fine. I agree it *could* be a problem, but considering it will be the first one ever; I think it's worth a try. | 12:41 |
| Daviey | I certainly wouldn't have a problem. | 12:41 |
| Bezzeb | I mean my dream would be to hire one of the guys who packaged the live CD of mythbuntu for a month or something... I know our problem in developing this new appliance would be fairly easy for a guy with the right skills to solve. | 12:42 |
| Bezzeb | Okay, I'll go sign up and pose my inquiry. I'll leave this IRC open in the event anyone else has a tip. We've got deadlines and are urgently looking to fill this slot. | 12:42 |
| Bezzeb | By slot I mean job. ;) | 12:43 |
| Ratok | hello everyone, is anyone out there who knows about VAAPI support of current linux intel drivers and supported hardware, my informations just say mpeg 2 on X4500HD | 12:54 |
| tassbur | Hi ebd, I'm having troubles with my HVR-4000 when I try to search new channels. If I do a full scan I get nothing, and if I import the channels.conf from an external scan I get my channels back, but when I tune to a channel, I only watch pixels and glich errors | 12:55 |
| Ratok | and another question, which codecs do the DVB-C systems use | 12:57 |
| tassbur | anyone know what's the problem? | 12:57 |

| ak74 | Hi all, I need help setting up a hauppauge wintv-pvr-500 card | 23:28 |
| tgm4883 | ak74, it should work OOTB, you just need to set it up in mythtv-setup | 23:34 |
| tgm4883 | or you could just leave | 23:35 |
| rhpot1991 | clearly the better solution | 23:42 |
| tgm4883 | well yea | 23:42 |
| tgm4883 | I would have just fixed his issue | 23:42 |
| tgm4883 | this way he gets to tinker with it more | 23:42 |
