| wangel | Hello everyone :) | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| wangel | if anyone has time... I bought a Hauppauge HVR-1600 .... I did quick research, found that it was supported (or so I thought) in linux. I'm having 1 HECK of a time getting it to work in Mythbuntu. Any tips? I followed what was in the wiki, it seems the kernel see's the card, blah blah blah ... just can't get it to scan for channels? | 00:41 |
| tgm4883` | wangel, my hvr-1600 works fine | 01:00 |

| wangel | tgm; man I am having 1 heck of a time getting it to work =( | 01:12 |
| wangel | are you using it for OTA signals only? | 01:12 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, use my full nick and it will ping me when you respond | 01:19 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, no, I'm using it with comcast | 01:19 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, what type of card did you set it up as in mythtv-setup? | 01:19 |
| wangel | tgm4883; ahh. Hmm. My cable company requires us to use a "digital minibox" so I assume that means the channels are encrypted. I wanted to use it to grab the OTA signals. | 01:20 |
| wangel | tgm4883; I set it up as the DVB using the frontend0 device, and the analog as Mpg2 using /dev/video0 | 01:20 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, Have you tried using it connected to cable without the box? | 01:20 |
| tgm4883 | worth a shot I say | 01:20 |
| tgm4883 | I don't even bother with the analog | 01:21 |
| wangel | I have not, but I can try. | 01:21 |
| wangel | Ok | 01:21 |
| wangel | then I'll leave analog alone. nothing uses it right? | 01:21 |
| wangel | When I told it to do a channel scan, it used uhm... VS8 ? It never found anything... figured that's where I was going wrong. | 01:22 |
| tgm4883 | yea that isn't right | 01:22 |
| tgm4883 | where do you live? | 01:22 |
| wangel | Louisville | 01:22 |
| wangel | KY | 01:22 |
| wangel | if it's any help | 01:23 |
| wangel | I uhm | 01:23 |
| tgm4883 | zip? | 01:23 |
| wangel | 47130 | 01:23 |
| wangel | found a website in the uk ... forgot the url | 01:23 |
| wangel | that had me install dvb-utils | 01:23 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, insight cable? | 01:24 |
| wangel | and I was able to something like scan /usr/share/dbn/atsc/us-atscxxxxxxxxx | 01:24 |
| wangel | Yep, insight cable | 01:24 |
| tgm4883 | hook it up to cable and use qam256 | 01:24 |
| wangel | really? haha | 01:24 |
| wangel | they don't encode channels? | 01:24 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, it's possible some are encrypted | 01:24 |
| wangel | ah, ok | 01:24 |

| wangel | oh wow | 01:25 |
| wangel | yah | 01:25 |
| wangel | yah, 8vsb! | 01:25 |
| wangel | that's what I used | 01:25 |
| wangel | or thought I did | 01:25 |
| tgm4883 | there is no guarentee that you will get anything on cable, but it's worth a shot | 01:25 |
| wangel | yah | 01:25 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, I don't recall the last time I scanned for channels | 01:25 |
| wangel | i'll try it :D | 01:25 |
| tgm4883 | I might have just fetched via schedules direct | 01:26 |
| wangel | ah | 01:26 |
| tgm4883 | or fed in a channels.conf | 01:26 |
| wangel | ya | 01:26 |
| tgm4883 | wangel, what version of mythtv? | 01:27 |
| wangel | I downloaded the latest version of mythbuntu off the website | 01:27 |
| wangel | I didn't run apt-get upgrade or anything tho | 01:27 |
| tgm4883 | I'd activate the mythtv updates repo and do the upgrade | 01:28 |
| tgm4883 | lots of fixes since the released version | 01:28 |
| wangel | ok | 01:29 |
| wangel | I'll do that | 01:29 |
