Re: [vdr] analogtv plugin with HVR-1800

2010-02-21 Thread Timothy D. Lenz
I can't buy any more hardware for this and there isn't channels to 
justify it anyway. It's just that the card has the hardware and is 
listed as supported under linux. So, thought if it was just a plugin to 
get it going..

And I just noticed the second card is also listed as having analog tuning:

But according to this link, only the 1800 has linux support for analog:

With both cards in, I have 3 dvb adapters and all 3 have:
demux0, dvr0, frontend0, net0



Hi Timothy,

I was in the same position as you and found an inexpensive pvr500 on
eBay.  It's a nice card, and more importantly, doesn't interfere with
the ATSC cards I have.

I also now have a cable HD box connected up to it.  PVRINPUT will change
the channels on the box to the correct one and either select SVIDEO on
the PVR500 or the HDPVR box and display it in HD.

At quick glance, it looks like there are quite a few Hauppauge PVR
devices listed on eBay at the moment.  Just make sure it's an NTSC one.
  The first two I got were PAL (even though sold from Detroit).  The guy
didn't realise, in the end I sent them to a friend in Hungary.

Rob

this card with tvtime, so I was thinking of giving it a try. The card is
supposed to be able to tune both atsc and ntsc, plus it has video/audio
inputs.


This is a hybrid tuner, right? Since the vdr and the analogtv doesn't
coordinate their access on the device, I doubt it will work.
Also it has build in a MPEG2 encoder, the right plugin would be
pvrinput, but currently, the HVR-1800 is not supported. Recently I added
support for the HD PVR, but I don't know how complicated it would be, to
support the HVR-1800 as well. Especially because of the hybrid tuner.
The two vdr devices "dvbdevice" and "pvrdevice" has to share the same
hardware. There's no infrastructure for this at the moment...
