Re: [mythtv-users] Attractive cases

2005-11-12 Thread Phil Vid
I have the Accent HT-100. Its big, but considering it replaced a VCR,
Satellite Decoder and DVD player its a fair trade.

The LCD is pretty crappy, only alpha numeric 16x2 lines and a limited
number (8 i think) of programmable characters. Its not programmable
enough to do decent graphical stuff..
Its also too small to read from a distance so I haven't bothered
programming it but I've tested it to work with a couple of different
LCD drivers.

It has 3 dvb cards in it, 2 drives and a dvd drive. It actually looks
good with the other silver sound components I have.

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB-S cards

2005-06-16 Thread Phil Vid
Bruce,

I have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S-CI that works with the original foxtel
'analogue'. You need to purchase an Irdeto cam and have a valid
subscriber smart card.
So far I'm not aware of anyone decoding the foxtel digital stream as
the NDS crypto they use is not public and no aftermarket cam is
available.
The card itself is good. I'm still having a few problems though that
are either driver or cam related causing problems with descrambling
after a few days. Also the card and cam combination is kinda
expensive, I think it was around $400-$500 by the time I bought all
the bits.

Sorry, I missed the bit where I actually explain the outcome :)

P1 recorded correctly from 7-9.10 on input 1, P2 records without the
overrecord on input 2 from 7.30-8.30 and P3 kicks off on input 2 at
8.30 until 9.30 overriding the overrecord. My expectation was that P3
would not be recorded in this case as both tuners would be busy.

This doesnt intuitive to me but if there is a workaround using
priorities I can use that instead for the time being.

[mythtv-users] recording priorities

2005-05-29 Thread Phil Vid
Hi,

A question about recording settings and priorities. Tonight I had the
following situation. My system has 2 tuner cards.

Program 1 runs from 7.00 - 9.00 on channel 10
Program 2 runs from 7.30 - 8.30 on channel 7
Program 3 runs from 8.30 - 9.30 on channel 9

Setup->TV Settings->General - Time to record past end of show = 600 seconds

All shows are equal priority.

My thought was that Program 1 would tape first, taking up tuner card 1
until 9.10. Program 2 would kick off at 7.30, taking up tuner card 2
until 8.40.
Program 3 would therefore not be recorded as both tuner cards are in use.

However I find the following in my log  -

2005-05-29 19:29:32.667 Started recording "My Restaurant Rules" on channel: 1004
 on cardid: 3, sourceid 1

Is this a bug or am I missing something obvious? I only installed the
second tuner this weekend so I haven't really messed with it that
much.

Thanks,
phil
