Oooh, Now there is some output I Haven't seen in a while (all that dmesg crap).

This one really has me stumped, and with the > addition of ABC 2 to the list of channels that seems to have stuff pop > up that I want to record (albeit repeated ad-nauseum) the second card > would be really useful around now... :) First, we upgraded so that we use udev instead of the that other 'static' thing that FC2 seemed to be using. (Don't ask, I don't know :P). Next, I downloaded Chris Pascoes drivers from the UQ website (ping me if you can't find it). I built them, ran that start script, I think I created links from the udev stuff to the /dev/dvb/blah0 folders. I am pretty sure it was then all ready to go with TZAP. > > >I don't like the idea of HD yet. I don't have the horsepower, or the > >storage capacity for it at the moment.

Then, when I tape two concurrent shows (like NCIS on Sundays) I a pretty much goosed to record anything else. Anyways, I hope you get it sorted. Give me a shout if there is anything more I can do, Whytey -- GMAIL is 'da bomb baby....YEAH I have GMail invites, if you want one, email me direct. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
