Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks for all the comments so far. Please note I've got a Foxtel Digital STB and wish to copy svideo as the Foxtel digital stream is encrypted. I have a work colleague who has got the DNTV-Live card running Foxtel and DVB-T under slackware - although at this stage I'm not sure if this is more a proof of concept than a viable solution. Oh well still to make my decision? I'll let you know how I go, as my requirements are fairly unique. Jeremy This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.

You're right but I didn't notice this until last week -- when daylight savings ended I swapped the recording schedules from 'record this timeslot' to 'find one showing' and I got a lot of duplicates over the week. I might go back to forcing the timeslot. Better guide data will come. Joshua King ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Joshua, You use d1? I find that the data from d1 is crap - eg it doesnt give eposide names so if you record a particular tv show, myth will record it on the main channel then again 2 hours later on the +2 hour channel. :) M. - Original Message - From: "Joshua King" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] Foxtel Digital Capture card recommedation(Australia) Hi Jeremy, On 8/4/05 2:14 PM, "Jeremy Daniel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All, My first post here.

[mythtv-users] Foxtel Digital Capture card recommedation (Australia)
Hi All, My first post here. I've looked through the archives and not found out much about Foxtel. I'm yet to settle on Tuner cards for my future MythTV box. On the DVD-T side I'm looking at DNTV Live! or Fusion Lite as they do have Linux drivers available. However, to record Foxtel via svideo - do I need an Analogue Card? eg Does the hardware decoder in say a Happauge 250 help with analogue capture? Or would I be just as happy recording Foxtel via the svideo input in the DN-TV card? Are there any Aussies out there who have a good solution to recording Foxtel. I don't suppose anyone's going to crack Foxtel's NDS encryption any time soon ;-) Regards Jeremy This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.
