Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, but I don't actually understand your
answer. Why can't the framebuffer be resized successfully to
allow the entire window to appear on my screen? After much
tinkering, I was able to resize an matrox G400-TV out framebuffer to
fit on my TV; I've moved to a quieter b

I've got X working on the tv-out of my pvr-350. I used the

My system seems to be a heck of a lot peppier since I neutered acpi with
acpi=ht pci=noacpi
as kernel boot options. I thought that I was supposed to have kacpid using 80% of my CPU...
Now my HDTV playback has regular pauses instead of continuous hiccups... woohoo.

The system is a 3.06 GHz P4 running Fedora Core 3. The video Cardis a NVidia 5200FX. For capture, all I have is a HD3000. I've checked

I posted another question and got some nice responses on how to

I'd given up on HDTV playback on my P4 2.4 system because it stutters,

I'm finally getting around to finalizing my PVR setup and my next part

Hmph. I've had no problems with my orinoco gold card. What are you
seeing as problems with it? I disabled WEP/WPA on my AP during
testing, but besides that, I didn't see anything new or interesting.
My FC3 is a clean install.

Hi,
Some of the users here have been able to get air2pc working with
mythtv. I haven't yet, but with the help of David and Johannes, I at

The first good test is to tune to a channel with azap -r CHANNEL in
one window and run "dvbscan -cvvv". If you've got a

Do you mean the "cat" portion?

I was under the impression that the whole point of using dvb drivers
