[00:49] Good evening [00:49] !help [00:49] !help For a complete list of my knowledge visit: http://www.baablogic.net/Zinn.cgi Other available commands: !status, !about, !bug [bug_number]. [02:44] Hey, so my new TV only has HDMI in, and my current graphics card only has S-video out. [02:45] What HDMI-capable graphics card is recommended for mythbuntu on an asus e1870 p4p 800 s-x motherboard? [02:45] 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] But I wouldn't mind getting a remote control... [03:22] puff, I am in the process of modding a old xbox IR reciever to work with myth...Not sure what anyone else is using... [03:38] any recommendations on a PCI capture card for digital tv in the us. [03:51] symptom, are you using ota? [03:52] or are you using cable/sat/ coat-hanger? [03:54] coat hanger OTA [03:54] HDHR [03:54] not pci, but its the best [03:54] if you have no intention of getting cable or sat, why not grab a HDHR [03:55] and you dont have to have it out in the open, stick under the couch so the wife doesnt see it. [03:55] symptom: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BEEDBE?ie=UTF8&tag=baablogicnet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B003BEEDBE [03:56] thats a very good price too [03:56] rhpot1991, yes it is....I might just grab one to have another tuner.. [03:57] dual is 131 [03:57] That is a good price. I thought they were more expensive [03:57] I cant find much on the specs [03:58] so the dual tuner is 170 [03:59] still cheaper than most current PCI tuners [03:59] dual tuner is 131 on amazon. [04:00] no HDD on it thought right? I tis just hte tuner, so mythtv does the recording scheduling, etc [04:00] yep. its just a tuner... [04:00] http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun [04:00] [www.mythtv.org] Silicondust HDHomeRun - MythTV [04:02] that attaches via cat5 to your network. [04:03] you can attach it directly to a computer too, no need for a crossover or anything [04:03] thats how I do mine [04:03] have a pci nic and then ethernet attached to that [04:03] 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] symptom: well, the HDHR can record clear qam [04:04] so normally you will get your OTA channels over that through cable, no need for an antenna [04:04] with most providors that is all you will see [04:04] analog is going away in most places, so that most likely wont help you much other than short term [04:04] something like the HD-PVR and a set top box from your cable provider will help you record the rest [04:05] 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] symptom: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018LX0DY?ie=UTF8&tag=baablogicnet-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0018LX0DY [04:05] rhpot1991, you beat me to it.. [04:05] lol [04:05] thats my setup, HDHR and a HD-PVR [04:05] some firewire, and some no longer used analog hauppauge cards [04:05] 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? [04:06] http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/13 [04:06] [www.baablogic.net] My MythTV Setup | www.baablogic.net [04:06] symptom: analog is dead in the US [04:06] all broadcast is digital and almost all cable providers are cutting off analog and going digital only [04:07] I suppose if you weren't doing HD, and used one of the DTAs you could record over analog [04:07] provided you can find an analog card for sale these days [04:08] i've got some old frame grabbers... =) [04:08] wintv.... [04:09] yes, stay away from frame grabbers [04:09] you could prob find a hauppauge 150 card on ebay or something [04:10] http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=hauppauge+pvr+150&_sacat=See-All-Categories [04:10] [shop.ebay.com] hauppauge pvr 150, Computers Networking, hauppauge pvr 500. Great deals on eBay! [04:10] most of those prices, I'd say just get a HDHR instead [04:11] thanks all [04:11] 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] symptom: make sense? [04:12] it does. I would need the dual tuner in order to record a show and watch live TV. [04:12] but I suppose I would need two PCI cards to do that anyway. [04:13] there are some pci cards that have dual tuners [04:13] or one analog one digital (some of these only work in digital, so read up) [04:13] So I can use a patch cable to go direct from the HDHR to my PC? No crossover or switch? [04:13] yep [04:13] thats how I do mine [04:13] or hybrid tuner (which you dont want) (I made that mistake) [04:13] and if you are using mythtv .22 or newer, then you can use whats called multi-rec with the HDHR [04:14] hybrid is both analog and digital on one input dewman ? [04:14] it lets you record multiple programs on each tuner as long as they are on the same multiplex [04:14] so for instance I can record on cbs and fox (I think) at the same time [04:14] refrain that... the hybrid that I have is a not so great one... [04:14] and only use one tuner [04:15] 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] multi-rec? So I can record two stations at the same time with one tuner? [04:15] that goes for any hybrid that does analog too [04:15] symptom: yep [04:15] how do I know if two stations are on the same multiplex [04:16] 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] symptom: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/channels_us [04:16] [www.silicondust.com] hdhomerun/channels - Silicondust [04:16] plug your zip into there [04:17] so dewman even if Im just using the digital capability of the hvr-1600 (which is hybrid?) that is not recommended? [04:18] rhpot1991, 4 shows on one tuner? [04:18] no no no....I jumped the gun... [04:18] 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] symptom: 4 shows, 2 tuners [04:18] I have the dual tuner HDHR [04:18] my fingers were typing but my brain was not communicating with them.... [04:19] haha. ok so I want clear QAM if i go with the hybrid? [04:19] or 1600 is not hyrbrid? [04:21] no its not... it has seperate atsc and ntsc tuners [04:22] I think most "hybrid" tuners are just one of each, no? [04:22] one card, one of each [04:23] ok [04:24] 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] [www.silicondust.com] hdhomerun/channels - Silicondust [04:24] symptom: most likely your cable company is transitioning analog away [04:24] they will more analog channels to clear qam and leave them there for a bit, then eventually those will get encrypted [04:24] ok [04:25] all you can reliably hope for are your local OTA channels [04:25] 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] ha [04:27] rhpot1991, so you pay for cable? [04:31] symptom: yes [04:31] I picked out an antenna and was ready to get rid of it, till my wife got angry about said decision [04:32] dang women ;) [04:32] heh, agreed [04:32] I woulda been sad about missing live sports [06:53] most major sporting events are on network tv though.... [10:49] hello === _Metoer is now known as Metoer [11:31] 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? [12:23] 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] Thanks in advance [12:36] 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. [12:38] 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] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-mythtv [12:38] [lists.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu-mythtv Info Page [12:40] 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? [12:41] 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] I certainly wouldn't have a problem. [12:42] 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] 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. [12:43] By slot I mean job. ;) [12:54] 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 [12:55] 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 [12:57] and another question, which codecs do the DVB-C systems use [12:57] anyone know what's the problem? [12:58] tassbur: which DVB system do you use or is it analog? [12:58] dvb-t [12:59] mayby look here http://rothfuchs.net/2009/12/mythtv-channel-scan-does-not-work-no-channels-found/ [12:59] [rothfuchs.net] [13:00] lol [13:01] thanks, but dvb-s works well [13:03] this thread may help you http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/hardware/11318-hvr-4000-fails-scan.html [13:03] [www.mythtvtalk.com] [13:05] i've using this [13:05] MythTV Version : 24158 [13:05] MythTV Branch : branches/release-0-23-fixes [13:06] i've got mythbuntu 10.04 [13:08] SirColin: have i to patch even i have this version of mythtv? [13:11] it seems to suggest to install 0.22 then patch then scan then update to 0.23 but im not expert in these things, just trying to help [13:12] mayb posting in that thread may help [13:12] thanks [13:12] np [13:16] tassbur have a read here also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=633182&page=10 [13:16] [ubuntuforums.org] Hauppauge HVR4000 and Scanning for channels *newbie desperate for help - Page 10 - Ubuntu Forums [13:16] ok Zinn this is getting spooky:-) [13:16] Hi SirColin, something I can help you with today? I am a bot, use !help to see what I can do. [13:17] SirColin: it isn't a firmware problem since it upload firmware correct [13:18] cx24116_firmware_ondemand: Firmware upload complete [13:20] Multiproto Drivers ???? [13:21] multiproto drivers? [13:21] bye, i have to go, i'll be back later [15:05] morning [15:05] anyone here?
