can't thank you enough for pointing me in the right direction. I finally got it working (still have an audio issue)
I already knew about the fact that the onboard mpeg could not handle it, but I thought I was not using it, as I was loading the dvb drivers in software mode. However running mythtv would not display a picture, so I went into mythtv-setup and enabled "use hardware mpeg"(found that info on forums) and that got me a picture for SD channels. From what I gathered from the 100's of posts I've read in last few weeks, I thought the "use hardware mpeg" option was telling mythtv to use hardware filters, but not actually forcing myth to use the onboard mpeg decoder. ( I guess my problem is, I don't know what these filters are or what they do. Can anyone explain? ). Anyway, the key to success was to uncheck the "use hardware mpeg" in mythtv-setup, have the dvb drivers boot the card in softmode and most important have the dvb drivers load the "budget patch" (this patch make the FF card behave exectly as if it was a budget card). A note to those using SuSE 9.3: I've tried this configuration few times before but it did not work. Turns out, after making the change to have the dvb drivers load the "budget patch" doing "rcdvb restart" simply did not cut it, but restarting the computer did. So make sure to restart the computer after you make these changes. One issue left. Now, on the same channel (PBS HD on AMC3) i have an audio problem. When using ALSA, every second or so, audio/video pauses and in the console i see somthing like "audio warning::buffer overrun". When I switch to OSS (/dev/dsp0) the picture stumbles along (no freezes) but the sound is cracky and no error messages in the console. However, when I enable XvMC the sound is good. I've seen many posts with audio issues, but I have not come across a solution. Config: I'm back to the vanilla 0.18 release I've added more ram for total of 1GB again, thanx for your help > Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > Hauppage Nexus-S (FF DVB-S card rev. 2.2) > > You have to disable the hardware functions on the ttpci driver to get this to > work..
