I've been on the mailing list and haven't read much besides the subject line for a long time now (months), but this is something I just had to reply to!

Funny you say that, I'm debating selling mine--I'm finding the boob tube isn't holding my interest much anymore. :( > And, does anybody know if mplayer can play the live stream on a Intel P3 > CPU after using mplayer's hacks to resize the video before streaming? Here's the main reason for responding here: I had a project (in limbo since I lost interest) of trying to get Myth* working on an old desktop computer. The machine in question is a P4 1.4 GHz with (I think) 392 MB of RAM and an ATI RAGE 128 video card and a PCI USB 2.0 card (the machine came with USB 1.1 which of course isn't enough). With those specs: NTSC (analog) works great; ATSC (digital) standard definition is ok, though stumbles on occasion depending if there's HD on the stream; ATSC high definition does not work. This is all through the internal video. I never got Myth* working enough to get it to act like a server. ("Myth*" == MythTV and/or MythBUNTU; the latter is an even bigger headache than the former alone!) > (I already know it requires a fast CPU for playing hi-def.) > > > -- > Roger > http://rogerx.freeshell.org BTW Mike, sorry I never got back with you on or off list. I really need to take the new drivers for a spin one of these days to see if those problems all those months ago are gone. I think I speak for everyone when we say we really appreciate what driver guys do: too much work and not enough respect!
