I have one too, and it is working also (the antenna network in my building has at last been updated last week). One problem is my version of mplayer which is unhappy when playing straight from the DVB card (saving into a file and playing from the file works fine though, and it allows to pause the TV :) The other is integrating that into Freevo. Rob Shortt had a project like this, but I have no idea how far it has gone now. If I find the time, I'll work on thins problem (I wnat to have something working, but I don't know when I'll have time to work on it).

[Freevo-users] freevo and kernel 2.6.3
Hi All I have been pulling my hair since attempting to upgrade my kernel to 2.6 from 2.4. I'm running freevo 1.4.1 and went out and bought a pixelview play tv pro card with conexant cx2388xx chip - hence my desire to upgrade as the 2.4 kernel did not have driver, etc. Now to the crux, when I attempt to start freevo in fb mode, i get an error saying that freevo cannot get a handle on an rtc key (i dont have the exact error as the offending machine is at home). tvtime also would run giving an error saying that the is no real time clock driver. I have looked at the config for the kernel numerous times and still find nothing to do with the rtc, does anyone have an idea?

This have been a big problem for me as well. My goal was to be able to use the remote for MAME games, and at the very least to end MAME and psx games. It's kind of odd because I use the Sapphire RF remote which emulates keypresses under X, and _ought_ to be able to pass keys to MAME and epsxe.

Re: [Freevo-users] resend: [no autoload and no install.. [long..]] [quick fix]
I still don't understand why but setting SDL_NOMOUSE=1 in the init
script itself fixed my second problem.
Any gentoo users game enough to explain why my init script is not
listening to the global environment variables set in /etc/env.d/*?

I set local_conf.py to use the blurr2 skin by default, and now this will

Sounds like a spare freevo_conf.py flaoting aorund somewhere...
Still can't autoload at boot though. As per before, my USER varialbe
and my HOME and SDL_NOMOUSE variables are set. Freevo will run as soon
as I log in, but autoloading it freevo doesn't listen to the
SDL_NOMOUSE variable and crashes.

What gets me is that its runs ok with ./freevo from the package dir, but
after the install its in /usr/bin/freevo and it wont run..
(which freevo = /usr/bin/freevo).
I'm sure its the 'right' freevo as the python install script isn't very
specific in its output, all I can see is 'copying
build/scripts-2.3/freevo - /usr/bin...
Secondly, i'm running gentoo my @boot scripts seem to be 'ignoring' the
environment variables, producing the old 'Unable to open mouse error'..
And yes. I'm running on the frame buffer.
Anyway, this is the simpton,not necesarily the truth.. I set my boot
scripts to cat the current environment variables before running freevo,
and the no_mouse variable is set (see bellow). I'm stumped as as soon
as I log in i can run the same command maunally and freevo works fine..
