[Cialug] PVRs - Was: Des Moines Area ISPs

[Nathan C. Smith]

That machine is perfect for KnoppMyth except for the pvr-150.  You may have
to recompile the IVYTV drivers for that to work but there is a howto on the
knoppmyth wiki.  The latest Alpha release may work.

There are also articles about getting nvidia to work, especially with TV
out.  I have that working too in case you need any help.

The latest knopppmyth alpha also works "out of the box" on mini-itx machines
which is really sweet.

I use Ubuntu Horay as my distro of choice. Here are the system specs
(currently running windows/Sage):

- Chaintech 7NIF2 (nForce2 - using s-video out)
- 512MB RAM
- Sempron 2300+
- PVR-150
- Soundblaster Live 5.1
- StreamZap remote
- Serial controlled DCT2000 digital cable box


Maybe I should try knopp-myth and go from there.

Jon,
I've been using MythTV for some time and like it alot.  It's easy to set up
but depending on your video capture card, it can be a pleasant or painful
setup.

I've got a Happaugue PVR250 that I bought a few years ago, and am running
Debian on my myth.  There are a few tuturials that are helpful, I'll post
after I find them again......

Theron
