[mythtv-users] Setup locking up when I go into capture cards
Hello, I am helping a friend get his mythbox working... We've got a PVR-350 (He mentioned it was the second revision) and Mythtv from 0.18 and also from CVS. In both cases, when we go into setup everything is okay until we go to the capture cards screen. Then the whole setup just freezes. Nothing, nada. I have not found any errors anywhere. has anyone experienced this?

Well, that would be cool... But I did let it sit... I walked away and came back later kinda sit. Thanks anyway...

Re: [mythtv-users] Could I have damaged my PVR 150 with the IVTV Drivers?
While I doubt it is what happened to the card, it is entirely possible to damage some kinds of hardware through software. But like I said, I doubt that would happen with the ivtv drivers and a capture card/ On Mon, 25 Apr 2005 14:01:02 -0400 Bradley Hennon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I dont think i have ever seen drivers damage a peice of hardware but is it possible? -- Bill Chmura Director of Internet Technology Explosivo ITG Wolcott, CT ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Cable Modem == Free Basic Cable.
I dont think this arguement will hold up... if this was the case, cable descramblers would fine as they are sending the signal into your home. But they seem to whack you. (and this was way before DMCA and such) And they're delivering it into his home unasked. If you shove a $20 bill under my door, is it mine? It sure is. Try and get it back. The burden to prevent the theft of cable is on the cable vendor, not the person who's got a line connected to the house legally.

Re: [mythtv-users] Boston Strangler quote
Its nothing personal, its advocacy... This quote shares what a nut-case the motion picture industry looks to for taking away your rights. He's not just some crank off the street, nor does the mythweb guy have some morbid fascination for murder. Have you contacted Jack? If he publically retracts that statement, then I guess it would have to be removed. This is the same group (I believe - and I may be wrong) that convinced everyone that your fair use laws (to make a backup of a dvd) is being preserved since you can point a video camera at the screen and record it. Again, I don't think its meant to offend woman, and it is relevant to the issue (being free to make recordings of programs) at hand.

Re: [mythtv-users] Removing Channels
I am not sure about digital, but I have unchecked all the channels I get up on the zap2it site in my profile. I had to do nothing on the mythtv end as I remember. On Sunday 19 December 2004 10:11 pm, Jeff Simpson wrote: This may seem like a silly question, but what is the correct way to remove channels? I went into mythsetup and set a few channels that don't come in as not-visible. This made them not show up in the Program Guide for recording, but channel up/down still scroll through them. I have digital cable (comcast) and there are a TON of channels that I won't get. I'd like to remove all of them so that it doesn't make me think I can record movies that I can't. Additionally, the way the channel-change program is designed, changing to some of these channels will fail, making it try for a few minutes, eventually turning off the cablebox, which is rather annoying.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV noob
You just need to get a splitter before the capture cards. You should be able to get one at any local store. halfway down this page there are some photos... you've seen them before http://www.hometech.com/video/splitters.html 350 and a 250 would be cool. I only have a 350 and it works great for recording and play back. Anything else gets a bit dicey. The 350 is great if you are going onto a slower machine - it has hardware encoding.

You would have to use a rf splitter ahead of the capture card and then feed a differeent input on the tv with the split signal. This would cause you to lose the ability to pause live tv and make switching between tv and myth a more complicated situation than needed. (Read, low wife acceptance factor) I would go with a 250 and 350 as my pair of cap cards if you really want to use the 350 for output. I think they finally have the 350 out stabilized to the point that its useful. The 350 is not up to the task of playing fast games if you have any thoughts of going that route. If you are not in a huge hurry you might also want to think about waiting for the 150 support to stabilize. They are quite a bit cheaper than the 250's. OK - I understand now, and can see why people are getting excited about 150 supoprt - it would save money when you need two of them. But that prompts another question - how I do split the cable coax connection between two tuner cards - is that another rf splitter, which is not a term that I understand but my borther will? I feel as though I have not read about any of these issues on the documentation pages, which may be my opportunity to contribute in due course Sim ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users -- Bill Chmura w. http://www.fistfullofcode.com w. http://www.explosivo.com -- Seeking total perfect enlightenment is looking for a flashlight, When all you need the flashlight for is to find your flashlight. - Lew Welch Without good motivation, science and technology, instead of helping, bring more fear and threaten global destruction.
