Myth is moving along nicely... Most of my problems haven't actually been with myth - predominately, it's setting up hardware which I normally don't use for Linux. (I have used Linux as a server since something like 1992 or 1994 but not as a desktop. Sound, video, capture, etc have never mattered so I've ignored it.)
I have a PVR-350. It works fine - I've been using the RCA out while setting it up because my VCR has RCA jacks on the front. However, my tuner allows S-Video, and the TV also can use S-Video. Seeing some of the comments about how nice S-Video is compared to RCA, I thought I'd better set it up... But, the picture isn't very good. About the same quality as the RCA, in fact. With one exception: The colors are faded or something. When I'm on the Myth menu, that nice solid blue background shows up with what appears to be a texture - it looks like many blue dots instead of a solid blue background. In general, I think I'm also losing colors but I don't know how to describe it. Clarity of the text is good in the middle of the screen but lost around the edges (which may be the old 1990 Sony TV; it was a problem with the RCA connection too). Anyway, do I need to configure X differently for S-Video out? Should I get better resolution? Is there a different register value to set with ivtvctl?? I've searched around, but I don't think I know what to search on. :-( Thanks! -Rob
