Gene,

I use mythtv for all of that stuff, both recording and watching TV.

yes, but setting up a mythtv system needs real time access to a mythtv guru, 
and a couple of days to build everything.  The guru I have, but he has 
limited time too.


Not really.   With no mythtv experience it took me less than a day to setup my 
original system (putting it on a already running fedora 7 system at the time), 
the second time I set it up took <2 hours, and that included compiling mythtv 
from source.   And if you do attempt it there is a mythtv list with a number of 
guru's on it which usually respond reasonably quickly if you can properly 
describe the issue, but for the most part the howto's describe the steps needed.





If you are watching 1080i or 720p it does require a reasonable CPU and video
card to do it.   And mythtv can be run in a window, but the default config
is full screen.


One proggy I watched last night claimed to be 1920x1050 or some such figure.  
And it did miss-fire occasionally since its a good 70 air miles to the 
transmitter and WV's topology is vertical.  Its been said from more than one 
podium that if WV was stomped out flat, it would be the biggest state in the 
union.




I could see what, I am only about 40 miles from the antenna and if the weather 
is being difficult things sometimes get messy.

Gene,

You may want to visit the MythDora project.  It is a custom Fedora based distro 
that should (set up everything for you*).

http://www.mythdora.com/

I do not know if it is a true (GNU/Linux) distro, but I hope you will not mind

I have almost all of those typified by au-Adelaide, but there are no us-* 
files in any of the 5 or 6 copies of the "dvb-t/*" directories.
What I do have that seems related came from dvb-apps-1.1.1-f8, and it puts 
those in /usr/share/dvb-apps/atsc/us-ATSC-center-frequencies-8VSB, and that 
is the file I used to make scandvb work below.

I finally have scandvb from that package running, but the command line to do 
it is nearly 200 chars long.  Thats nucking futs.  And it found the new 
stations, but how in hell to you get it to write an xine compatible 
~/.xine/channels.conf?

So I copied what it output to the screen when it was done, by copy/paste to 
~/.xine/channels.conf, and wonder of wonders, I'm watching the Antique Road 
Show in Hidef.

They are still here, just that many have gotten sick of the thread, I 
am and have been part of that *that thread*.

I do not know enough of xine and it has failed to compile for me, since the 
xine that comes with Fedora does not let me view anything :( Because of trying 
to be free (that thread ).  I have used mplayer and it has worked for 
me in watching TV.  However, the new digital stuff is very new and I cannot 
comment on it yet since I do not know :(

not sure what you mean by 'keep track', but 'tbird' does have a
'filter log' you can enable.


 I feel as if I'm being forced to filter.


you filter for spam/junk mail. 'soap box' threads are not that much
more trouble.

when a new 'sb' thread starts, i just press  to get 'source'
window, then click 'tools > message filers' and open active filter,
click '+' to add. then a short pointer drag and center button click
and i have a new 'sb' filter. takes longer to describe than to do.



Then there are folks  that may not be so good at filtering


they can always ask magic words of 'how to'

what???


It is clear to me that a small minority of people have no regard for
others on this list.  They will tell you otherwise...but they don't.


no argument there. i agree 100%.

for the most part, I'm inclined to give Alan Cox and Alexandre Oliva an
extremely large berth for conversation as they are significant
contributors to the software we enjoy.

Most (not all) of the other participants are also significant
contributors at least to the fedora-list so I cut them some slack too.

Any discussion that provokes RMS to post is probably a worthwhile
discussion but I wish the players wouldn't be so pressed to have the
last word.

Yes, the exchanges have exhausted the topic but this is Gene's thread.

With the conversion to HDTV in our local market now underway, I need to be 
able to tell xine what channels there are.  Unforch, the


 dvbscan -fx -o .xine/channels.conf

doesn't regenerate the file with the new 8VSB signals that have come online in 
the last week.


Well, the only thing that I have found that *may* help is the following 
statement


"dvbscan does not do a full-spectrum frequency scan. To get information on 
the available multiplexers, it reads this information from an existing 
transport. So you have to feed it this information; happily, the source 
distribution comes with a handy selection of transport settings for most of 
the available transmitters.


To find a transport setting file, run dvbscan without parameters. It will 
list all transport setting files and its run options. You should find your 
transport setting in a directory with a name like 
/usr/local/share/dvb/scan/dvb-c/ for cable, /usr/local/share/dvb/scan/dvb-s/ 
for satellite, or /usr/local/share/dvb/scan/dvb-t/ for terrestial TV. The 
name gives the country and location; for example, au-Adelaide refers to 
Adelaide, South Australia. To be sure, look at the beginning of the file, 
which should look something like this: "


So, maybe you need to locate a proper dvb file?

Does anyone know how to make that work, or, how to change channels in the xine 
front end?  I can't find a channel up/down function in its gui.


No...  Don't actually use xine for this purpose.

Gmail does not send you messages that you post to lists that come back
from lists Gene. So be prepared for the short tempers.

Between the Zealots and the Net Nannies this list is really getting to suck.

Nonetheless, we already saw it. Before reposting something, please check
the list archives. That's a reliable way of knowing whether your message
was distributed, even if you didn't get it yourself.
