[09:39] <dekarl> tgm4883: what is Ubuntu TV Testcard?
[09:39] <dekarl> might help to decide if one can test it ;)
[09:41] <dekarl> Ahh, making that line more prominent would do: layout.set_text("Welcome to Ubuntu TV Testcard.\nUse this utility to finetune your TV settings.", -1)

[09:50] <dekarl> i first thought its a UbuntuTV Testcard, but its a Ubuntu TVTestcard ... just getting a gray screen though
[16:17] <n1md4> Installed today, nicely put together.  I've gone through the setup wizard, and can playback the video tests, but can't watch live tv, it says 'no tuner configured', any help please?
[16:22] <SteveGoodey> n1md4: You have a wintv nova-t 500?
[16:23] <n1md4> Sorry, yes, I have.  I've enabled the proprietory drive too, but have not yet rebooted.
[16:24] <n1md4> Hey SteveGoodey thanks for replying the dev thread, it was a bit tricky for me to get it working on arch so moved to ubuntu :)
[16:24] <SteveGoodey> Card recognised in dmesg and firmware loaded OK?
[16:36] <n1md4> dvb-usb: Hauppauge Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T successfully initialized and connected.
[16:36] <n1md4> dib0700: rc submit urb failed
[16:41] <SteveGoodey> n1md4: Have you gone through mythtv-setup?
[16:50] <n1md4> SteveGoodey: I installed Mythbuntu, activated the proprietory driver, and then launched mythtv frontend ... I guess that counts as a no?
[16:50] <n1md4> I went through the setup wizard from the frontend.
[16:51] <SteveGoodey> No, you need to come out of the frontend and do   http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythtv-setup

[16:57] <n1md4> SteveGoodey: I don't suppose you know what the Card Type is for the Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T ?
[16:59] <SteveGoodey> Is that in capture card setup?
[17:00] <n1md4> Yes, it is.  I've read so far that Happauge cards are MPEG-2 encoder card, but then I'm unsure what to kill in the rest?
[17:01] <SteveGoodey> Try Card Type to "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)"
[17:01] <n1md4> I can only assume Video device is /dev/dvb/adapter0 or adapter1
[17:02] <n1md4> Oo DVB device automatically appears :)
[17:03] <SteveGoodey> You should be able to cycle through till you find the one you want
[17:04] <n1md4> bleb.org or radiotimes, for a video source?
[17:05] <SteveGoodey> Radio Times I use, you're UK?
[17:06] <n1md4> I am.
[17:07] <SteveGoodey> Did you go through capture card bit ok?
[17:08] <n1md4> Oh yes, I'd have thought so.  The DVB DTV capture card option sounded right, and the DVB device was automatically probed.
[17:33] <n1md4> SteveGoodey: I'm now getting 'mythtv-backend respawning too fast, stopped' in dmesg
[17:35] <SteveGoodey> Tried a reboot?!
[17:38] <n1md4> ... might as well give it a go!
[17:41] <n1md4> Not cool :( http://pastie.org/4349175

[17:42] <n1md4> "Could not connect to the master backend server. Is it running? Is the IP address set for it in mythtv-setpu correct" yes, and yes.
[17:43] <SteveGoodey> MythBackend: No valid capture cards are defined in the database.
[17:43] <SteveGoodey> Scheduler: Listings source 'RadioTimes' is defined, but is not attached to a card p.
[17:45] <SteveGoodey> Did you go through the mythtv-setup completely, that's the secret. Capture cards, Video sources, Input connections, etc....
[17:47] <n1md4> Compeletly, yes, but perhaps not correctly :\
[20:29] <n1md4> SteveGoodey: I've got it working now, thanks for the assist.  Last question though, the colours are all off.  i.e. skin is light blue.  What might be the problem there?
[20:30] <SteveGoodey> Hang on that sounds familiar.
[20:31] <n1md4> I'm in the process of sourcing a card decent enough to be both moderate for gaming, and silent for htpc use.
[20:31] <SteveGoodey> "It seems that the Hue was up to high after the upgrade."
[20:33] <n1md4> Ah ... so where can I change colour?
[20:34] <n1md4> Found something here http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-11.html  I'll give it a go when I'm back on the myth box

[20:34] <SteveGoodey> What video, not capture card, are you using?
[20:35] <n1md4> I'm unsure, how could I tell?
[20:36] <SteveGoodey> During playback hit 'm' to get menu, could be colour settings in there.
[20:36] <SteveGoodey> Did you build this system from scratch?
[20:39] <n1md4> From the mythbuntu live CD.
[20:39] <n1md4> The hardware is just bits I had lying around at work, that weren't being used.
[20:40] <SteveGoodey> No I mean hardware wise. What graphics card did you install? What card is driving the display?
[20:41] <dekarl> n1md4: btw, the Nova cards are all DTV receivers. The MPEG encoding happens at the broadcast centers. (opposed to Hauppauge PVR-xxx cards that are MPEG encoders)
[20:43] <n1md4> SteveGoodey: It's an integrated gigabyte graphics.
[20:45] <SteveGoodey> Ok. Think you need to hunt around to find a hue setting you can change. That page you mentioned suggests 'F' could be the one.
[20:45] <SteveGoodey> On a keyboard.
[20:46] <n1md4> dekarl: Okay.  I'm new to tuning card jargon.  I'd read Happauge cards used MPEG card, don't know the difference between the DTV and PVR.
[20:47] <SteveGoodey> To find the graphics adapter it should be mentioned in dmesg. You can probably tell I'm no expert at this, just a user!
[20:47] <n1md4> SteveGoodey: Thanks, I'll take  look.
[20:47] <n1md4> Need to go, thanks for the help.
[20:47] <SteveGoodey> Good luck.
[20:47] <n1md4> :)
[20:48] <dekarl> no worries. And try /var/log/xorg.log (or similar)
[20:49] <dekarl> /var/log/Xorg.*.log will contain something like [    26.412] (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 210 (GT218) at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)
