Re: [mythtv-users] DVB in the UK (EPG)

If you let mythtv tune the card I find it doesn't matter anyway. i.e tv_grab_dvb works just fine at the same time. I just run it in a cron job. Admittedly I've chosen the time to be one where no re-tunes are likely. (this is with a nova-t for dvb-t) On Fri, 2004-12-10 at 12:57 +, George Style

Re: [mythtv-users] Dual tuners with different channels

If you had hardware knowledge, I suppose you could, theoretically, wire-up an opto to the power LED in the cable box, and connect the output to an unused serial port line on the PC. A simple Perl script could then read the state of the opto. Point a £15 usb webcam at the power LED and do some image

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB in the UK (EPG)

I have no problem with the dvb EPG apart from the issue with ITV3 which has been commented on (I run dvb-grab hourly to get around the ITV3 issue) I assume you mean the complete lack of listings for ITV3 :) How do you run it hourly without it interfering with your recordings? i currently stop myt

[mythtv-users] changing channels on Directv D10 receiver

I am looking for information on anyone who has actually made mythtv tune a Directv (thomson) D10 reciever. I have searched hi and low for days and have not found many results. Interfacing to IR or serial I have no preference as long as it works. If you can help me find this information, I'd grea

Re: [mythtv-users] Advice on TV vs Monitor to use with Epia M10k

Thanks for pointing me to Terry Barnaby's page Steve. Its a great resource (If you are out there Terry Thanks!) From my reading of Terry's analysis I conclude that a 16:9 aspect ratio TV will be no problem with the Epia, and the TV quality will be good, but I am still not clear about how well a

Hello Maybe it doesn't help much, but the new version of the ivtv driver solves problems with some tuners, but from your post I can see that your card is not the one with that kind of problems. Your tuner us type 2 and that one should be reconized by any ivtv driver version. What I can advise yo

Tom, Can you shed any light about drivers for this card? How does it compare to a Hauppauge Nova-T as I have the non-remote on backorder with Scan, but these seen allot cheaper. Thx. Greg On Thu, 9 Dec 2004 23:31:42 +, Derek Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thursday 09 December 20

Re: [mythtv-users] DVB in the UK (EPG)

When I tried it for a week a few months back I came accross several times where the data was completely wrong and the categories were aweful compared to the radio times grabber. If it was my own option then I suppose I could probably put up with it, the grabber itself pulling down data was fine, n
