We don't have nova. We get everything over the air right now, but the
listings for the national channels are from nova's website. We've
been looking at getting it, but for the same price in the states you
get 100+ channels, nova is only the national channels +25 for 54 euro
a month. double that if you want to be able to record two shows at
once. No ESPN, HBO, FoodTV, G4, etc. It's just 3 more channels of
football. I set up myth just so i could record the few good movies,
english with greek subtitles) a week and watch them at our leisure,
without having to wait during the 15 minute commercial breaks, or
even worse when they put a full 30 minute news broadcast in the
middle of the movie. Don't even get me started on 'M' channels friday
night horse-racing. They cut from whatever they are showing to 10
minutes of racing then back to the show again.

Hary,
I am all too familiar with greek programming. Do you have nova? As for
my problem yes I fixed it, it was the silliest thing. I had
forgotten to
set my capture card type to PVR250-350 alas hardware deconding. It
works
well now but still have not figured out how the commercial skip works.

Well i'm a new user to both myth and linux. but i've managed to get it
to work, mostly. I haven't taken the real plunge and hooked it up
to our
main TV. My main problem is that tv shows here in greece tend to start
whenever they feel like it no matter what the schedule says, so right
now i'm recording half an hour before and after, and i still miss
parts
of shows.
did you give the ptune-ui.pl/mplayer test a try? I relied on that a
lot
to figure out channels frequencies and make sure my card was changing
channels correctly
best of luck

Hary,
Thanks so much for following up.
I am at work right now but it just hit me that I am using v4l
standard
device for my tuner setup. I used to have a tv wonder and after I
ditched it I did not change it.
You are right about my /dev/dsp but I can fix it but making arts not
startup with kde.
As a new user I have been trying to read howtos, tutorials, mailing
list archives, etc.
Thanks again...

dunno, double check that you have write permission on /pvr/livetv
another way to test your card would be to use mplayer and the ptune-
ui.pl script in the util directory from the ivtv tarbal.
from jarod's guide:
# /usr/lib/ivtv/ptune-ui.pl &
# mplayer -vo xv /dev/video0
that's what i used to check my videocard setup.
other things to check:
and it looks like you are also having problems w/ opening your audio
device if you compiled your own, did it pick up arts? i have to tweak
the configure script slightly to get it to recognize arts as a sound
option.
also if your new to myth you might want to check out the list
archives

hope that helped

Somebody must have some suggestions for me. C'mon people!

As far as firmeare my kernel does have something to say about the
one
I am using:
ivtv: Encoder revision: 0x02050032
ivtv: Encoder Firmware may be buggy, use version 0x02040011
Can somebody tell me how to fix this? I got the rom file from the
.inf
driver but where Do I place it, is it /lib/firmware or /lib/modules?
Now I followed Leigh's tips and ran the mythback and front ends on
the
console and captured Both stdout and stderr. Here they are. If this
sheds some light, please guide me to What I should be doing to fix
it.
Thanks again...
A couple of this I noticed is that sometimes /dev/dsp is locked
and I
assume it is because of Arts. When I kill it, mythtv seems to be
able
to access it. I know how to make this permanent So no problem here.
The other thing it was complaining about was that it did not like
RTJpeg (or something) under The recording profiles. I changed
that to
MPEG4. Is there anything else I need to do?
