Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Upgraded to 0.17, now DVB slow to tune and pops/crackles (cx88)
I've just performed a dist-upgrade to 0.17 on my twin Nova-T (cx88) system. I removed my existing card channel configs then retuned (in UK) without any problems (great feature, thanks). However, now when watching LiveTV then the picture pops and crackles and takes several seconds to change channel. This wasn't the case before upgrading the system. I've not changed kernel vers ion (still 2.6.10-1.741_FC3) just ran dist-upgrade. Any hints anyone. I do see some some log entries 2005-02-20 18:14:39.048 DVB#0 WARNING - Uncorrectable error in packet, dropped. 2005-02-20 18:14:39.062 DVB#0 WARNING - Transport Stream Continuity Error. PID = 610 but these also used to occur without causing pops and crackles. The signal quality has been tested and is very good. Any ideas anyone, LiveTV is near unusable and the WAF is plunging. Also found that this only occurs only when watching LiveTV, but I can record a program and then play it back without any kindof signal interference behaviour. Check to see that you're using record PS and not record TS ? Record in TS format instead of PS is NOT checked for either card. I presume this is correct. Unfortunately yes. OK, post front and back end logs please.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: Upgraded to 0.17, now DVB slow to tune and pops/crackles (cx88)
Assuming I'm reading this correctly, tuning and data presentation is taking less than a second. Do you have the inbuilt EIT stuff switched on ? I wonder if this is jumping and causing you grief ? Other than that I can't really spot anything other than the signal level does look very low (29 ?) Where do I find inbuilt EIT stuff?

I'm having problems getting my dvb devices to show up in FC3

installed the video4linux packages to give me the drivers required

I
only get the following device after reboot, and mythtvsetup doesn't
recognice any of my dvb cards.
Can anyone help. Hopefully I've provided everything needed to
assist.
The data below was gathered immediately after reboot, I didn't do
anything extra to load modules etc.

Re: [mythtv-users] [OT] Universal remote recommendations...?
I'm using the Sky Navigator with built-in keyboard and it works very well. It's quite useful to bind some of the less known features (restart script etc.) to buttons on the built-in keyboard rather than them being visible all the time. I've yet to get all the keys firing and do away with the proper keyboard, but that's the intention. Note, if you've not bought one yet, I don't think they work with the Hauppauge receiver of non homebrew types like irman. Let me know if you want my lirc configs. Dan On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 08:54:17 +, Stephen Tait [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Gah! Well, I've finally had it with trying to configure my Philips SBC RU 865. It seems it's impossible to get *all* of the buttons working at the same time in any way, shape or form which makes it entirely useless for MythTV usage without continually switching in between different modes. Shame really, as this glaring error excepted it's an utterly stellar remote. If it's in TV mode, the pause, play, ff, rew etc. buttons are disabled... if it's in VCR mode the volume and mute buttons are disabled. Argh on a stick. So, I'm in the market for a new remote to use with my PVR-250 and was wondering what opinions people here might offer. Firstly, I'm UK based, which probably cuts down an awful lot of stuff from the off (bah) and I don't really want to pay £120 for a remote, much to the annoyance of the short-back-and-smarm sales rep I clashed with on Tottenham Court Road yesterday, and nor did I want to buy a PVR setup (sigh). I knew walking into the Sony Centre was a bad idea... Most promising so far (in that it's not butt ugly and doesn't cost a fortune) is the Sky+ remote as resold by Argos in this example http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001langId=-1catalogId=3151productId=122374clickfrom=name I think there may be another version of this same remote floating about with a flip-top keypad somewhere, but that's not much of an issue for me. I couldn't find an lircd.conf for it over at lirc.org, but that's probably due to the manufacturer not being Sky, which is just as well as I'm loathe to give Rupert Murdoch any more money... ;) Since it was designed for PVR's, I'd imagine it would fit the bill nicely, and is probably the nicest looking remote I've seen recently. Any Myth users out there using this thing successfully? Care to comment? In terms of people I don't want to buy things from, Sony are right up there with Rupert Murdoch, but I've been told they make some good remotes. The selection I saw yesterday was far from inspiring (style over substance - lots of fiddly little buttons), but I know there's a few users on here who swear by Sony remotes. Other than the fact I want all the buttons to work *all the time*, separate ff/rew and left/right buttons and it doesn't look like the back end of a bus, that's pretty much all the criteria I have. I'm not averse to rolling my own lirc.conf's if need be, but I'm just looking for stuff that definitely works (with PVR-250's and Nova-T's) and people are happy with.

I've seen some stuff about this, but can someone tell me if there is a known fix/workaround, as the machine sits at the nvidia splashscreen, even though it's actually logging in behind. I've found that using NvAGP 0 seems to cure things, but I guess this won't cut it for myth use. Using kernel 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 from atrpms and would love to keep doing so!

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR250 + Nova-T Nightmare.
Why do you need to recompile the kernel, I use Jarod's guide, ensuring the I also install the kernel source. Ensure you've rebooted so you're using the new kernel, then pull down the latest dvb drivers and build them. Then use the script provided with the drivers to load the newly built modules. Works very well for me. Not tried it, but I guess you could then delete the modules that came with the kernel and copy the new ones in, but i just load them direct from theit build location.

Instead, quite a few people on this list (me included) are using home-built VGA - SCART converters. Don't bother trying to buy one of these since they will all of the retail versions use scan conversion which really lowers the quality. Take a look at the following sites for details: http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/circuits/vga2tv/ http://www.nexusuk.org/projects/vga2scart/index.php http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html Personally I went for the last site listed. This will give you RGB output to the TV, you can just output the raw interlaced DVB-T signal (no de-interlacing required) and each horizontal line of pixels generated by your vid card will map natively to a scan line on the TV. The image quality is fantastic, noticeably crisper than my Sony set-top-box using RGB output. You might be able to tweak the S-video output a little but it'll never come close. Has anyone managed to solder a VGA 2 SCART cable that will cause the TV to auto switch to that connection when switched on. I have an s-video to scart lead at the moment which doesn't so I'd like to kill 2 birds with one stone and improve the picture and cause the TV to switch over to myth automatically.

Re: [mythtv-users] Screen goes blank, argh tried everything
That sounds about right, I commented out the line in my xorg.conf and last night I had no blank screens, so it would seem that the 'xset' commands in rc.local were indeed firing too early. I'll test further before coming to a final conclusion.

I'm not sure why but I think it may be because the commands were getting run before X was started so it wasn't taking effect. Just a thought, it worked for me.

Re: [mythtv-users] Screen goes blank, argh tried everything
Good point, just checked and all power saving related features are disabled. Except the following: Video Off Method = DPMS Support Description: This field defines video off features. The DPMS support option permits the BIOS to control the video display if it supports the DPMS feature. Blank Screen option blanks the screen; use blank screen option for monitors without power management of green features. V/H SYNC+Blank blanks the screen and turns off vertical and horizontal scanning. However, all 3 options seem to want to cause some kind of blanking and I can't remember changing this option recently, but since my FC2 upgrade this behaviour seems to be occuring. Does anyone else have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Mobo or at least an AwardBIOS with this feature?

[mythtv-users] Will Hauppauge Support Me
I think one of my Nova-T PCI cards just bit the dust. I have two of these cards and one has stopped loading the firmware on start-up. Does anyone know if Hauppauge will accept the card if I tell them it isn't working on Linux, or do they generally need Windows error proof? ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
