rileypIf I want surround sound in myth on my front end do I need to adjust settings on my backend in the shed to ensure recording are recorded in 5.1 or is all that info embedded in the mpeg2 stream12:46
DroneWorkanyone here use a decent cablecard tuner with multistream capabilities on their ubuntu system?  The only reviews I can find are of outdated cards that arent on the market anymore.  I even found the april fools joke on mythbuntu.com before I realized it was an april fools joke, lol14:08
DroneWorkHad my going for awhile, as I am a Comcast technician and was saying to myself  "wtf...we didn't get any training on this"14:09
DroneWorkWell I will be off to work, if anyone has some insight for me on decent cards, send it to me via a PM so it doesnt get lost in the channel spam.  I am doing this partly for myself and partly because I ran across another customer that was trying to accomplish this and wouldn't mind having the experience to help him and future customers14:11
DroneWorkTIA14:12
DroneWorkInternal preffered BTW14:14
DroneWorkOr any solution that works with Comcast services and allows HD content through as well.14:24
DroneWorkOff to work I go.14:24
rhpot1991DroneWork: for comcast HD I'd recommend a HDHR and a HDPVR14:30
rhpot1991I use comcast, you can see my setup here: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/1314:31
Zinn[www.baablogic.net] My MythTV Setup | www.baablogic.net14:31
DroneWorkSo the PVR is not a tuner...it just records, the HDHR is a tuner?  How do you force it to activate with Comast?  Does it take a cablecard?14:36
DroneWorkOr are you still using a Comcast HD box and then streaming it out to your PC via Component/HDMI?14:39
rhpot1991no cablecard tuners for linux yet14:39
rhpot1991so the HDHR does clear qam14:39
rhpot1991and the HDPVR records out of your stb's component ports14:39
DroneWorkaahhhh14:39
rhpot1991sometimes firewire will work for comcast too14:39
rhpot1991its not very reliable for the most part, and largely depends on your area14:40
DroneWorkok I understand the PVR and still using a Comast box....whats the HDHRs function?14:40
DroneWorkI am a Comcast Tech, so as far as troubleshooting different types of boxes and whatnot is not an issue for me, its the other parts I need to...make sure are compatible with linux14:41
DroneWorkThe HDHR just gives it the ability to pause your stream if I understand it correctly?14:43
rhpot1991DroneWork: its a dual tuner, clear qam and astc14:44

DroneWorkI get my equipment cheap, being an employee and all, but I like to mess around with new technology/home theater/ etc  and whatnot14:46
