Jakob,
The cabling seems OK, although it might be done in a different way (I use a [S-video+ 1 audio jack] to SCART cable purchased at Carrefour to connect my VHS recorder to my Hauppauge PVR 350 video acquisition card. Because the SCART plug is directional, I had to exchange input and output pins)
However a great function of myth is the ability to program recordings directly from the TV guide. How do you intend to do this with the freebox ?
Jakob Fix a �crit :
Hi,
I am in the planning phase for my myth box (for quite some time ... :-)
First some background: I am living in France, and ISPs here offer settop boxes for the ADSL connexions. I am with a provider called Free (http://adsl.free.fr) who offers the "freebox" which is as they say a "triple play" terminal, ie it provides me with 10MBit/s (the adverts say up to 20MBit/s) internet access, TV channels, and free voip telephone.
For the tv functionality they provide a "peritel" output (I'm pretty sure it's not the correct term, and may be called differently elsewhere), it's this almost rectangular plug except that one of the short sides of the rectangle being slightly "skewed".
I read in a forum (http://forums.grenouille.com/index.php?showtopic=14658, it's in French but with lots of pictures) a way to connect the peritel output to a video acquisition card (the one shown is an external USB device from Dazzle).
I'd like to know whether people on this list have experience with this kind of setup, and what kind of internal video acquisition cards they can recommend for this scenario. My current tv card is a Leadtek Winfast which only has a RCA connector.
Unlike the intended purpose (to put the box underneath or on top of the telly), I'd like to connect it to my myth(ical) backend in the garage and watch the output on a frontend ...
Thanks for any input.
