Hi All, I have a PVR-250 and a PVR-500 living together happily in a FE/BE system. Why is that Myth always wants to the use the tuner that I'm using for LiveTV to record a scheduled program. There are two other unused tuners, why not one of them? I know I can switch to another tuner, that's what

I just helped a coworker build a Myth box using a Pundit. He is using a PVR-500 card. A Dremel was involved to the card to fit in the case. Once the case was buttoned up, it makes for a real nice unit. It's small, very quiet and reasonably attractive. I'd give it a very high WAF. Ken On 5/11/05,

Re: [mythtv-users] setting up a pvr-500 in mythtvsetup.

2005-04-25 Thread Ken Mink
The PVR-500 shows up to the system as 2 seperate PVT-150s. Each 150 has it's own tuner. Both tuner's indexes start at zero. You should change your input on the second "150" to be Tuner0 as well. I have a PVR-250 and a PVR-500 and all of three use 'Tuner0'. Good luck, Ken On 4/25/05, [EMAIL PROTEC

There currently isn't a fix for this problem. I am in the same boat as you. It is the only thing keeping mythtv from being wife ready. The best work around to date is to ceate a large livetv buffer.

Welcome to the group. This is a known, yet not wide spread, problem where the backend crashes when the live buffer gets full.
