Thanks a whole bunch. Care to help us this Saturday (that is, if you
live in Oahu--I kept forgetting that this is not just a local forum)?
The CentOS demo machine at McKinley has nVidia FX5200. I will try to
get the Hauppauge 350 and Coax2USB cards. Wayne

Aloha all, I am interested in testing out MPEG-2 encoder/decoder
and/or pcHDTV tuner cards (such as Hauppauge PVR-250 / PVR-350) on
the CentOS machina at McKinley. At the present time, it appears that
the best package for this is the MythTV project:
http://www.mythtv.org/
(There are live MythTV CDs for turning your PC into a TiVo-like
machine, but I am interested in installing the MythTV into Fedora
Core.) I am wondering if anyone ever used the Hauppauge card
hands-on, especially the ones with a coaxial-to-USB 2.0 connection?
Anyway, if you are interested, please contact Michael or hop in this
Saturday. Mahalo. Wayne
The PVR 250 has no tv-out and no FM tuner, the 350 has both of these
but does not have accelerated X, so no games. There is a 150 and a
500 the 500 has dual tuners on the card, they are actually two 150's
on one card. These cards do not do HDTV so you will need a HDTV card,
the Air2PC card is more sensitive to OTA(OverTheAir) broadcasts so it
is considered the better card of the ones that are out there.
I have not used the Hauppauge Coax2USB but I am running a 350 with an
nvidia 5200 doing TV-Out and can say that Myth rocks! I use xine so I
can have the DVD menus, I can rip my DVD's just by simply pressing a
button. I have scheduled recordings and have not watched LiveTV for a
couple months. I bought a All4One remote control and an IR blaster
then using one instance of lirc to have myth change channels on my
cable box.
The best HowTo is located here www.wilsonet.com, Jarod uses FC1-2-3
but only 3 is being updated at this time. He is also on the myth
mailing list and answers questions frequently.
Hope that helps,
Jon
