There are an awful lot of postings on the list, mostly from new users, about live TV. The fact is that Myth can do live TV, but it is not really what Myth is for, and once you begin to use it, you'll find live TV less and less relevant -- it's useful to ensure that the card works, but you don't actually watch TV with it.
There are probably more users of the PVR 250 because of the solid support and the 150 because of the price. There are quite a number of 500 users, but it seems like there's a lot of postings about problems getting both tuners to work simultaneously. It can certainly be done, but it seems like getting the PVR 500 to work on both tuners begs the question of how much you know about Linux, and how much effort you're willing to put into getting the card to work. >From what I understand, the PVR 500 works well with the new ivtv drivers, but the card will show up as two separate PVR 150s -- /dev/video0 and /dev/video1. Inside mythtv-setup, you need to specify the capture sources as tuner0 on each rather than tuner0 and tuner1 on /dev/video0. I also understaqnd that there are issues getting audio to work on both tuners. Of course this is all hearsay -- I run a PVR 250. A 500 is on my list but I've never actually used one. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
