[02:58] I have a hvr-1600 that won't lock on to the audio portion. would an amplifier help with that? [03:10] Hello I am just wondering why there is nothing on the 10.10 betas or RC posted on the Mythbuntu site? I like to test the new releases just was wondering if this ment they weren't stable enough yet or what was going on? [03:33] qwebirc66929, I'm in the process of posting the page [03:36] Oh ok ... just wasn't sure what was going on... thanks [03:49] http://www.mythbuntu.org/10.10/rc [03:49] !release [03:49] Mythbuntu 10.04 http://www.mythbuntu.org/downloads [12:46] If 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 stream [14:08] anyone 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 The only reviews I can find are of outdated cards that arent on the market anymore.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, lol [14:09] Had my going for awhile, as I am a Comcast technician and was saying to myself "wtf...we didn't get any training on this" [14:11] Well 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 customers [14:12] TIA [14:14] Internal preffered BTW [14:24] Or any solution that works with Comcast services and allows HD content through as well. [14:24] Off to work I go. [14:30] DroneWork: for comcast HD I'd recommend a HDHR and a HDPVR [14:31] I use comcast, you can see my setup here: http://www.baablogic.net/drupal/node/13 [14:31] [www.baablogic.net] My MythTV Setup | www.baablogic.net [14:36] So 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? [14:39] Or are you still using a Comcast HD box and then streaming it out to your PC via Component/HDMI? [14:39] no cablecard tuners for linux yet [14:39] so the HDHR does clear qam [14:39] and the HDPVR records out of your stb's component ports [14:39] aahhhh [14:39] sometimes firewire will work for comcast too [14:40] its not very reliable for the most part, and largely depends on your area [14:40] ok I understand the PVR and still using a Comast box....whats the HDHRs function? [14:41] I 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 linux [14:43] The HDHR just gives it the ability to pause your stream if I understand it correctly? [14:44] DroneWork: its a dual tuner, clear qam and astc [14:44] http://www.silicondust.com/products/hdhomerun/atsc/ [14:44] [www.silicondust.com] HDHomeRun (US/CA) « Welcome to SiliconDust [14:45] they do have a cablecard product coming out, wont be out till next year though I don't think [14:45] They have a few, for $400 + [14:45] well they as in silicon dust [14:45] ati tv wonder and ceton inititv 4 [14:45] ah gotcha [14:45] there are others out there, but they will not work with linux [14:46] I get my equipment cheap, being an employee and all, but I like to mess around with new technology/home theater/ etc and whatnot [14:48] Thanks for your help, you've definately pointed me in a good direction with your personal setup Rhpot199 [14:48] Gotta leave for real this time, I will idle here as I am sure I will have more questions when I get home tonight === DroneWork is now known as ThinkWork === Gibby_away is now known as Gibby === You're now known as ubuntulog
