[mythtv-users] OT: Hooking up to my HDTV using DVI

2005-07-16 Thread Mark Frey 

I'm having no luck at all getting my Myth to display on my HDTV. I'm using
the DVI out on my FX5200 to connect to the HDMI on my TV using a DVI-HDMI
cable. I've tried all the modelines listed by Jarrod, and many other
modelines I've found searching around the web (see xorg.conf stuff below).
I've tried several different versions of the Nvidia drivers, all to no
avail. The X logs show X switching to the appropriate modes, but I never get
a picture. The TV acts as if there is no signal at all. I've tried
1920x1080i, 1920x540p, 960x540p, all with several different timings.
Nothing. No rolling picture, no offset picture, no picture period.

Is this normal? I know that few if any have gotten 1080i to work with the
Nvidia drivers, but from reading around it seems like people have usually
gotten 540p to work.

What I'm wondering is if I'm missing something really obvious. I could get
one of the AudioAuthority 9a60 converter, but before I spend $130 I want to
make sure I'm not doing something stupid.

My TV is a Sony KP-46WT520, it's EDID reports 540p as the resolution. I've
tried with "IgnoreEDID" both on and off, etc.

Does anyone have any hints for me?

Has anyone similarly had no luck at all using DVI and gotten the
AudioAuthority or some other converter to work?

[mythtv-users] Auto(?) scanning of QAM channels

2005-03-27 Thread Mark Frey 

Well I have just finished rebuilding my Myth machine with a PVR-150MCE
and a pcHDTV 3000. It's finally all working but I have one remaining
problem. I'm using the pcHDTV to tune QAM channels over my Comcast
cable. One of the channels is the Kids channel which only seems to
broadcast a couple of hours a day, and if I tune that channel any other
time Myth freezes with messages from the backend saying waited to long
to read data from the card (I assume the dvb driver is crashing). I
don't care about this channel anyway, so I just use myth-setup to remove
it from the channel list. The problem is, Myth seems to periodically
re-add this channel. Does anyone know how I can delete this channel
permanently?
