[mythtv-users] offset listings time for one channel
Hello, For the last week, the lineup for one of my channels has been off by 3 hours. I've reported the problem to zap2it, but I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the lineup for a single station three hours later while I'm waiting for the listings to get fixed. Thanks ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] edit custom record rules
Hello, Is there any way that I can see/edit the custom recording rules that I've previously given mythtv? They're all working great now, but I can see the possibility of wanting to edit or delete them in the future. Thanks ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-150 need a solution
I had this problem with a FC3 installation. My solution was to add the following lines to my rc.local: /sbin/depmod -a /sbin/modprobe ivtv /sbin/modprobe lirc_i2c /sbin/service licr_i2c start /sbin/service mythbackend start if you do this, you'll also have to turn off the backend autostart script because things get screwed up when the backend starts before the ivtv drivers are loaded, which is why I have the backend start in the rc.local to make sure that it starts on boot, but after ivtv. # /sbin/chkconfig mythbackend off The ivtv mailing list is also a good place to look for other solutions On 6/1/05, Joseph A.

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-150 users - how did you do it?
I had the same issue once I got the card going. There's two things that could be in play. First, from reading the mailing list archives, live TV get's killed if the soundcard is not properly configured. Also, the ivtv driver needs to be loaded before you start the mythbackend, or else you see about a second of video before it freezes and dies, so try restarting the backend and see if it fixes it.

Re: [mythtv-users] Bottom-end MythTv Suggestions
It's true that there's only room for one optical and a single IDE no SATA (There might be SATA on the more expensive one with the ATI video). The noise issue, I think, is that the quiet mode is off by default in the BIOS settings, and it really howls, but once I turned on quiet mode, I can't hear it at all. It didn't take a dremel to get in my PVR 150, but some forcing was required, and I think I can forget about putting a second tuner in it. I can't complain about the video quality, but I've been using VGA out so far while waiting to get back the TV I left behind with my girlfriend when I moved.

Re: [mythtv-users] Bottom-end MythTv Suggestions
I built out of an ASUS Pundit-S, $115 on new egg, and a Celeron-D processor, ~$70-80. A little bit pricier than the other suggestions given, but the small case looks just like a DVD player, and Jarod's guide has specific instructions for the pundit.

Re: [mythtv-users] Newbie questions...
After going through a headache setting up a 150... I'd recomend the better supported 250, especially if you're new to it. I went the fedora core 3 route because things are much easier if you follow Jarod's fedora howto, which does require any compiling.
