Well, I just spent about 30 hours trying to get this configured and set up. I just spent about 14 hours today trying to get a "picture" out of my HD3000 card from an OTA HDTV signal. Only to be rewarded with the jerky live image....
I built this system specifically for live HDTV. I bought a P4 3.0 processor, 512 MB ram, nividia 5200, and a 250GB SATA hard drive.
I followed Jarod C. Wilson's guide (outstanding by the way) but had to start deviating to try and get the dvb drivers to load up. For some reason, after every reboot, I have to chmod -R mythtv:root /dev/dvb and /dev/dvb0 or the mythbackend will fail to start the DVB#0.
Kelly,
Those of us who are doing High Def can definitely identify. There's a challenge around every corner. With regards to the start up issue, I noticed the same thing, I think it's related to a delay in the loading of the cx88_dvb driver. I put the following (*total hack alert*) in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
modprobe cx88_dvb
i=$((0))
while [ $i -lt 5 ]
do
if RETVAL=`lsmod | grep cx88_dvb`
then service mythbackend start
ERR=`tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | grep ERROR`
n=$((0))
while [ "$ERR" != "" ]
do
n=$(($n+1))
sleep 7
service mythbackend restart
ERR=`tail /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log | grep ERROR`
if [ $n -eq 2 ] ; then
ERR=""
fi
done
i=$((5))
else
i=$(($i+1))
echo "waiting for cx88_dvb to load"
sleep 2
fi
