[mythtv-users] How to turn off commercial flagging?
Commercial flagging does not work for me here in Germany and I would like to turn that off. But I can't find the place what it would be. Can anyone point to the right spot? Johannes ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] Scary times ahead
At the risk of been seen as a wimp, but I am doing all my admin work under Linux using the midnight commander (mc). It's a norton clone, that gives you a two window view of the files and also viewers and an editor. Does do the job quite well for me.

Re: [mythtv-users] Hardware Platforms
I use a Yeong Yang A210 box. (http://www.yycase.com/yy-a210.htm) It is quite nice (WAF approved) and has only the power button, power led and HDD led visible in the front.

Mine is a 7 slot changer using a Quantum DLT IV drive. That has 20G uncompressed capacity. This is enough for what I need.

Re: [mythtv-users] Lower power usage ideas? (for backend)
In addition the power supply takes a lot power even if the CPU does not need it. Those PSUs are so cheap made that they don't care about reducing power if in idle.

Re: Practicality of backing up huge hard drives (was Re: [mythtv-users] Dieing Hard Drive)
My experiance with HD backup is not so good. Usually you have only one drive that holds one backup (maybe two). But what can happen is that a disk goes down slowly and has failures that you copy to your backup before you notice that. The HD backup is not helping then, because you only have the broken copy there. I prefer tapes (actually a DLT tape library from ebay) and keep several instances. Even so that means that I have many tapes laying around...

Re: [mythtv-users] [Slightly-OT] Socket A and the Athlon-M
I am using a Biostar M7NCG 400 with a Athlon-M. Works fine, easy to cool and fairly quiet. But I don't think that you can manage to run fanless, unless you underclock/undervolt desperately. I have it in a micro ATX housing, no extra fan beside CPU and power supply. But I use lowest noise fans from Pabst. The whole box is nearly in-audible, unless you get very close.

[mythtv-users] Modeline fixed in IVTVout
I am using the TVout from my PVR350 and that is working quite fine. Now I tried to do some finetuning to fit the TV picture best to my TV. Tried several chages to the modline until I found that IVTV has a built-in modeline, where I have no clue how to bypass it. Is there a way to use your own modeline with IVTVout?

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350, TVOut Bigger than the TV
Watch out, if you use KDE, then only using the GUI in a windows will allow to scale the size. With GUI in full screen you need a different window manager to use scaling.

Re: [mythtv-users] Re: PVR-350 System Done, a few issues
I had sometime problems like that (no sound in live TV and in recordings). But pressing "c" (from memory, it is the key to change the input) brought sound back. I never found exactly why and how to resolve it, but luckily this is gine since my latest install. On Mon, 21 Feb 2005 11:18:17 -0500, Scot L.

Re: [mythtv-users] No output from PVR-350 - HELP!
Did you enable the TV-out of the PVR-350 in the frontend settings?
