Re: [mythtv-users] pcHDTV3000 and PVR-150 together?

2005-07-22 Thread Bruce Pennypacker
I've gotten a HD-3000 and a PVR-350 to work properly together, but I'm using the DVB drivers for the HD-3000, not the v4l ones. The only problem I currently have is that the program data doesn't match the channels on the PVR-350 (see my e-mail from last night for the details). Here's the rundown

Hi all, I'm putting the finishing touches on my mythtv box which has both a HD-3000 and a WinTV PVR-350 in it, and I'm using the LxM channel guide data. I've set up 2 different lineups, one for digital cable that covers what my HD-3000 receives and one for analog cable to go with the PVR-350

And you can get dvb-apps from http://www.linuxtv.org. Don't just download the tarball in the downloads directory however. Make sure you get the dvb-apps tree from CVS, as that's much more up-to-date. -Bruce Rich Goodin wrote: > I'm using 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 > > and use: --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/
