The actual physical transport medium for the signal (IR versus RF) is completely irrelevant. What matters is that lirc is able to communicate with the receiver to determine which buttons you pressed. (My understanding is that lirc started as a project for working with IR receivers, but has grown

Re: [mythtv-users] Seeking Remote Control Advice for PVR-500

This is slightly off-topic, but... Can somebody please confirm or deny the existance of a PVR-500 (non-MCE edition)? Hauppauge's own website doesn't list a PVR-500, only a PVR-500 MCE. They have a "PVR-500MCE-Kit", which has a Windows Media Center remote control and an IR Blaster (they call it a

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-350 TV-out problems

If you want xv support to work, then you really should (in fact, I think that xv won't even work with the 0.2 series) upgrade to 0.3.8 (the latest driver). You also need a newish version of the XDriver (I use 0.10.6). It is very stable for me, and I'm using xv on my PVR-350, as well as using it a

Re: [mythtv-users] GLX and NVIDIA. Disable GLX to startx

I don't know about FC4 (I use FC3 - I prefer to stay one release away from cutting edge on my production machines), but you'll definitely want to get GLX working if you use an nVidia card (which I assume you do). With GLX working, you can use the OpenGL VSync for reducing tearing/jitter, and also

Re: [mythtv-users] pvr 250 and pvr 500 in same box

It was working perfectly for me using the FC3 ATrpms (0.2.0j or something like that). I did have to make some changes to my modprobe.conf file, it looked like this: alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 ivtv alias char-major-81-1 ivtv alias char-major-81-2 ivtv # ivtv 0.2 specific opt

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-150/500 and bttv?

The tveeprom module is responsible for reading and interpreting the contents of the EEPROM (if there is one) on the TV card. So, it reads in a stream of bytes, figures out what card it is, and then retrieves the settings. As new cards are released and supported, the signatures need to be updated.

Re: [mythtv-users] Hardware problem with Silverstone Case

The LC-10 and the LC-11 are completely different beasts. The LC-10 is ATX, and the LC-11 is microATX. That said, I also have an LC-10, and am reasonably satisfied with it, but it does have it's share of deficiencies. The hard drives are placed in a poor way for ventilation and spacing (which lim

Re: [mythtv-users] Possibilities of building a pci based card to work with cable provider's cable cards?

As I understand it (I haven't read the CableCard spec because I'm not in the cable industry anymore), it is not a PCMCIA card, but rather has the same connector. That in itself just means that while you can use the same connector slot, you'd have to run the traces differently. In theory it's poss

[mythtv-users] PVR-350 volume

I thought that the answer to this might be in the archives, but after scanning through pages of them using different terms, I'm not so sure... I upgraded to ivtv-0.3.8 tonight, and put my PVR-350 back in the machine (so I have a PVR-350 and a PVR-500). I've decided to switch to the PVR-350 MPEG-2

Re: [mythtv-users] PVR-150/500 and bttv?

I've read the thread you you mention, and call me skeptical, but I don't buy it 100%. Yes, a poor cable signal can cause all sorts of problems. But short of doing a comparison between a PVR-500 in Windows and the same card in Linux, you just can't say that you have the tuner definitions 100% corr

Re: [mythtv-users] A station in my area changed to a different channel

Running mythtvsetup will not clear out recordings, priorities and such, as long as you tell it not to. I moved into a new place (just last weekend, actually), and went through that procedure. Run mythtvsetup, clear the channel listings, select my new provider (also doing so in DataDirect), and ev

Re: [mythtv-users] How do you adjust font sizes?

720x480 support seems to depend on your driver. I am able to configure 720x480, and it works with the version of the driver I have (I think it's 7664), but when I watch TV or a recording, it's shrunk quite a bit. I have to play with the aspect ratio to work. I run at 1024x768 on my nVidia GeForc

Re: [mythtv-users] WinTV-PVR-500

In the case of analog cable, only the one coaxial cable is necessary. With analog cable, every channel is transmitted over the same wire with differing RF frequencies, in 6 (NTSC/Annex B) or 8 (PAL/Annex A) MHz increments. The PVR-500 has two tuners in it, even though it only has one RF (coaxial)

Re: [mythtv-users] WinTV-PVR-500

Check that the ivtv driver detects your PVR-500 as two PVR-150s. Check that you can get data from both tuners by doing a "cat /dev/videoX > test.mpg", where X is first 0, and then 1. If not, then it's an ivtv problem. Also, check that in the MythTV setup that you used "Tuner 0" for both /dev/vid

Re: [mythtv-users] safely exposing mythweb to the net.

I use SSL, and my router only forwards port 443 to the inside LAN, forwarding it to the MythTV machine. That, along with a .htaccess file makes it about as secure as it's going to get. (Short of tunnelling, which I don't want to do). I used to have port 22 (SSH) forwarded as well, but I started

RE: [mythtv-users] PVR-500 question

Note that I'm talking generically, having worked with chips that are capable of doing both NTSC and PAL, and their assorted other hardware bits. I don't know what parts a PVR-500 or a PVR-350 use, so this is a generic explanation. I don't want to say that it's not possible, but there's definitely

Re: [mythtv-users] Why does channel 4 transmit a silent audio track as well as the normal audio?

I live in the U.S., and I've never worked with mencoder, so I can't comment on the actual stream in question, however: PID 0x0010, which is classified as "other stream" is actually the PMT (Program Map Table) in DVB. This is where the actual PIDs are listed for the various streams within the progr
