The problem is that bt878 and tuner are picking the wrong tuner. You will have to use the tuner= or card= kernel parameters for that card. After that it will go into the correct tuning automatically. Mandrake has a control panel for that. Otherwise, its kind of tricky because they changed the parameters recently. TryI have an ATI TV Wonder VE for my capture card. The tuning seems to be way off i.e. if I set it to channel 22 I see channel 20. I do have the setting right for the tuning types NTSC and USCable. I also get the same results from Xawtv. I can use the fine-tune in Xawtv to get the picture stronger but it is way off like two whole channels. I am thinking that the used tuner card I have is bad but I wanted to ask since I have no experience with TV capture or MythTV. I have the current build of KnoppMyth (5A10) and a P3 733 with 512Mb ram.
modprobe tuner type=2
modprobe bttv gbuffers=4
See how that works. Otherwise you need to figure out what parameters are right. If it tells you to use card=, I think its a card=64.
Another unrelated easy question I had for the experienced. Do I need aUse gkrellm to see what cpu % you are using when just recording. See what % it is when you are watching TV (in a window). If the % jumps, your display is probably too dependent on the cpu. Make sure you are using an accelerated driver for your graphics card.
faster video card for live TV, if I run the front end and back end on the
same box? Do I need a more powerful capture card for live TV, if I run the
front end and back end on the same box? Because Live TV is very choppy.
