| Angel_Of_Sorrow | i have a quest | 05:13 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | i am trying to get a tv capture card working with linux... apparently my tv capture card works with mythbuntu? | 05:14 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | does that mean that i must be using ubuntu to use the card? | 05:14 |

| Angel_Of_Sorrow | i am trying to get a tv capture card working with linux... apparently my tv capture card works with mythbuntu? | 05:50 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | does that mean that i must be using ubuntu to use the card? | 05:50 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | will my tv card work outside of mythtv? | 05:50 |
| cfhowlett | Angel_Of_Sorrow, any LINUX distro should be capable of running the card. mythbuntu makes it easy and convenient to configure and use the myth environment and services. | 05:57 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | ah ok | 05:58 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | have you gone through the proceedure involved before? | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | Angel_Of_Sorrow, nope. sorry. I've only read about it. | 05:59 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | it seems very involved... and im not sure i have the right card for starters... | 05:59 |
| cfhowlett | Angel_Of_Sorrow, I believe there's a mythbuntu forum as well | 06:00 |
| cfhowlett | http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=301 | 06:01 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | the problem is is that i choose to use opensuse | 06:02 |
| cfhowlett | Angel_Of_Sorrow, then mythbuntu is going to be of little use to you. you'll have to install and configure everything on your own. | 06:03 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | how easy is mythbuntu to set up | 06:04 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | im considering crossing platforms | 06:04 |
| cfhowlett | http://www.mythtv.org/ | 06:05 |
| cfhowlett | As I said, never done it. But if I was going to make the attempt, I'd certainly NOT choose to do a "roll your own" when there's a readily available alternative. Just my thing ... | 06:06 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | i much prefer suse | 06:07 |
| cfhowlett | but if you have experience setting up suse, then you'll have some understanding of setting up ubuntu. Expect a learning curve ... | 06:07 |
| cfhowlett | As I said, choices ... unless suse provides a myth server variant ... | 06:08 |
| cfhowlett | what is it specifically about suse that you prefer? perhaps we can replicate it ... | 06:08 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | can you help me choose a new tv capture card for mythtv pls? | 08:23 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | does anyone have a link to help me find out if my tv card is supported by mythtv? | 08:27 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | can anyone recommend a site where they list which tv capture cards work with the latest mythbuntu? | 09:44 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | ? | 09:52 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | can anyone recommend a card that works with mythtv? | 10:34 |
| Angel_Of_Sorrow | can anyone recommend a card that works with mythtv? | 11:40 |
