Hi Gents and Ladies,

I am trying to build a multimedia station out of an Compaq EVO, I've been looking for video tuner and video card PCI (no AGP slots on the hardware CPU), and with some many options on the market I am lost, there is some many cards out there, with ATI chips on board, memory options. I am looking for a TV tuner compatible with suse 10.2, and another one with video output for TV (main goal is to start as movie player and then upgrade the system to work with mythtv), I have a older ATI card, I wanted to use, but without a AGP slot, I am forced to buy another one, I was looking some cvards that even come with the remote control, but the vendors don't know anything about Linux compatibility.

If someone could send me a link to read or any comments I would greatly appreciate!!

Thanks in advance for you help

Regards,

Jose

Interesting. I;m in UK and one of the links points to Amazon UK who can supply the device, and later on in the article it says it works with Mythtv. So my question is, can I get Mythtv to work with openSUSE 10.2, if so where do I get it from and how do I set it up ?

Add packman's repository, there is MythTV. You need mysql running as well in order to run the backend..

I'm running MythTV on my 10.2 system. Works great. Very easy to install and set up from the Packman repository(mythtv + mysql). Do a little reading on the MythTV site for what you need to do to configure the backend - it"s not hard if you follow the directions. I've got my MythTV running in a separate KDE session which is displayed on my TV... and love it. Very easy to use, and has some rather nifty features like cataloging all your video, and linking it up with the IMDB cover art and descriptions.

I set up MythTV on a lark a few months ago, mostly because I wanted to play with pausing live TV. I was soon totally addicted. It's completely changed how I watch TV; I hardly ever watch anything "live" anymore, I just let the scheduler record what I want so I can watch it at my leisure. It's great.

I fear that a lot of pain is coming my way with the looming digital conversion, though. It's mandatory for broadcast in 2009 and some cable companies are converting sooner. From reading the mythtv mailing list it seems recording HDTV is a hit-or-miss proposal, especially off cable.

Not exactly, there are good HDTV cards, which work for off the air signals. And for cable, you should request, and your cable company have to deliver a cable box with firewire output. They are required so by an FCC ruling. Usualy they do not, but after I insisted at Comacast office, they exchanged mine. And mythTV is perfectly happy to manage this box (Motorola) and record over the firewire. I have read some guys even have got multiple such boxes and chain-connect them,and MythTV was able to manage them all.

-- Thanks. I have ordered the Hauppauge WIN-TV HVR-900TV USB 2.0 Analogue & Digital TV Tuner from Amazon. It should arrive tomorrow. I assume I can just configure it using Yast. Has anybody used this particular device already with 10.2 ? Any problems I might encounter ? Before I try Mythtv is there a KDE programme I need to install ?

You might want to have a look at:

http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/pvrusb2.html

I'm not sure if this is the same model that you have ordered. I've got one of these - it's listed as WinTV PVR USB2, so I'm not 100% it's the sam emodel you've ordered. Currently the pvrusb2 driver only seems to pick up analogue broadcasts via the aerial in socket. (I've not got Windows to test if it picks up digital and analogue via this input).

Jon

Jon The original link http://lunapark6.com/usb-hdtv-tuner-stick-for-windows-linux-hauppauge-wintv-... indicated it would do digital in Linux so I'll just have to try it and see. I'm hoping Yast will set it up. With aa bit of luck I'll find out tomorrow.

I suggest you have a read of this site, it covers nearly all things required to install mythtv for openSUSE 10.2 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Opensuse_10.2

Nobody I know receives HDTV over the air. It's on the cable system. THAT is what we need to be able to tune, not over the air broadcasts. What we need is a plug in tuner that can deal with digital HDTV on Cable. (At least in Western Canada).

Here in Oklahoma City all the locals, well at least the major ones, are broadcasting in digital/HD. One station has five sub-channels active. Most just have two or three. Two if they are just doing digital and HD of their normal programming and three, or more, if they are doing some alternative programming [ channel five does their weather radar live 24/7 on one - it's funny when their Windows machine crashes on live TV and they have to reboot.]. Digital/HD is here and in the USofA it will become the standard in the next two or three years. Better start preparing for the switch over. - - (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Definitively go with an Hauppauge pvr card, they usually keep them in stock at TheSource, Staples, etc for around 100CAD for a pvr-150, got one of those myself a few month ago work like a charm. -- "Why can't humans just reboot instead of sleeping, so much wasted cycles" -Zombie Coder.
