It looks like it more or less converts component into FireWire (can do
more than that though).
Looks like SDTV only even with component inputs.

I was just looking at this device ...
http://www.adstech.com/products/API-555/sysreq/API555req.asp?pid=API-555
It looks like it more or less converts component into FireWire (can do
more than that though).  Drawbacks being it only takes stereo audio,
but can get around that by capturing off a soundcard that supports
digital input...  Also, i'd need to hack MythTV to support raw 1394,
instead of MPEG2 compressed streams, but that shouldn't be much work,
just means the CPU requirements will shoot through the roof.
(Also, I can't tell, it's possible that it might downgrade the
video to 420p, which would not be very good, but still better than
most other solutions for the price :/ ~$180.00 @ CDW)

There are such cards, they cost thousands.

there is really no equivilant to what the pcHDTV cards do. They spit
out a compressed mpeg2 stream, yet they have no compression hardware.
In fact, if you transmitted XviD modulated with 8VSB over a UHF radio
frequency you could probably pick it up and save the stream without
changing the drivers. ( if you packed it right. ) The card doesn't

Re: [mythtv-users] SA 3250HD firewire issues

2005-02-12 Thread Brad House
ok, I've got it working, but appears to be extremely unreliable
in a few ways ... none of which I believe are the fault of
linux's 1394 implementation or MythTV.  Some channels won't
come over firewire at all [HBO HD for example], while others
do [Showtime HD/ESPN HD/NBCHD for example].  I assume this is due to
DRM/encryption.  Also, sometimes, when flipping stations,
video appears to stop being broadcast ... sometimes it
will start working again by restarting mythfrontend,
other times it requires you to unplug the firewire cable,
and replug it back in...
Wish that PCHDTV 3000 card supported component or DVI/HDMI
input ... that would solve a lot of issues :/

any suggestions??

Re: [mythtv-users] SA 3250HD firewire issues

2005-02-12 Thread David Madsen
I my experience with my SA 3250 it has always shown up on the Firewire
bus as node 0.  You are trying to access node 2 which may not be
right.

You can find out which node is the right one by running this..

# dmesg | grep ieee1394

look for the device with an guid of GUID[000f21a3f544] (for a
3250) and then look in this column ID:BUS[0-00:1023] for the id.  The
id you want is the value in the column after the -  in this case it's
is 00.

You can set the id to use under myth-setup i believe when you enter
the firewire devices configuration menu.

[mythtv-users] SA 3250HD firewire issues

2005-02-12 Thread Brad House
Well, figured I'd try to capture from my SA 3250HD with the new 0.17
release.  It seems to recognize that I'm plugged in, but I get this
message from mythbackend:
