Re: [mythtv-users] Australian Setup Help Needed
I have 2 VisionPlus VisionDTV TER (i believe they're rebranded twinhan cards or something). They work really well for me, no effort at all to get working with linux + myth. Got them for $115 each. Any other recommendations on good/easy to install configure digital TV cards to use for Australia from anyone? I'd been steering clear of digital because there are lots of tales of woe with them in this list! Also, what sort of disk space are you using for a 1hr program with a digital card on SD settings?

I'd been steering clear of digital because there are lots of tales of woe with them in this list! The DPANDA card (from dpanda.com.au) works out of the box with all the recent 2.6 kernels. Nova-Ts will as well, if you get one of the older ones; the brand new ones require the latest kernel + patches still I think. Also, what sort of disk space are you using for a 1hr program with a digital card on SD settings? Anywhere from 2.5 to 4 Gb, depending on the station.

Hehe, I guess I should have included that too :). I am in Melbourne Victoria. I have red a few how to's but most of them seem to be in different states. I have followed them as best I can, and everything seems to work, but I just cant get any TV to show, as i said, i get the static, but I dont know how to get the tv to work. Any help would be much appreciated. -Hurgh- On Sun, 6 Feb 2005 12:15:29 +1000, David Whyte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where in AU are you Hugh?

Re: [mythtv-users] Australian Setup Help Needed
I have a few questions: 1. Do i need to add the free to air channels by had or is mythfilldatabase ment to do them for me? When I set mine up I found it easier to do it by hand in the channel setup screens. 2. If I am ment to add them by hand (which i have no problem doing) Where can i get a list of the frequencies that I need to use for the different channels in Melbourne?? I have seen an example for channel 7 on a site but dont know where to get the rest of them from. If you still need this, let me know. I think someone posted one to the list, though, so you should be OK now. Regards, Phill ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Re: [mythtv-users] Australian Setup Help Needed
Thanks for the link, the only problem with that list is that it seems to be for the Digital TV not the standard def tv. I only have a standard Definition card atm, so that wont help. I am looking at getting a digital card, what would you all suggest?? What has been the quickest one to setup, that works out of the box (as in no need to install lots of drivers) and also is able to be brought in australia (pref in melbourne). Thanks all for the help so far, it is all starting to come together now :) -Hurgh- On Mon, 07 Feb 2005 09:42:48 +0800, Tj [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Phill Edwards wrote: Where can i get a list of the frequencies that I need to use for the different channels in Melbourne??

The term Standard Definition TV refers to digital TV which may have confused people. You mean that you only have analogue, I think? I only have channel numbers for the Sydney frequencies. however, you could lok at your existing settings on your TV and note down which freqiencies each channel is tuned to, then look up the channel number for that at this link (you have to tell MythTV the channel number, not the frequency): http://www.scanaustralia.bigpondhosting.com/broad/autv3.html Regards, Phill ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Thanks Phill, I did mean Analogue :) Getting my terms mixed up here. Thanks for that list, I will give that a go and see how I get on.
