OK, good and thanks. I'll get good Antennae service. I had this Antennae serviced by a company before.
Actually after reading your post again, I realise that your not having the same issues on both. It appears your having more issues with the Dvico. I did own a Dvico and had nothing but trouble with it, even with the driver compiled and patches to the kernel (before it was in newer kernels by default). It never worked as well as I had hoped. My guess is your dvico is having issues with its driver/kernel version, and possibly antenna problems (since both units have HDTV issues). Maybe trying a different digital tuner from a friend might be worthwhile, to confirm it too has similar issues to your Tivo box.
I was able to get lirc to work on the older version before. Now it's 3 versions newer and my remote does not work. I'll get to it later.
I was going to buy a Windows MCE remote, but I might not just do that yet. I will try what I found in regards to the Twinhan ones using the lirc modules for usb /dev/input support. See if it works any good.
Does Twinham has hardware decoders like Hauppage 350 ? I'll get myself Avermedia DVB-T but if Twinham has, maybe I'll try it first. Avermedia cost around $140.
I honestly dont know, but for $65 AU who can complain. It has to be the cheapest tuner around. Infact I did pay $90 odd for my original ones, but since found a source for $65 AU each. I was running 2 of these in an Amd Athlon XP 2800+ system. And when using the correct nvidia display drivers for xorg 4 it could actually handle hdtv playback. I am going to purchase another tuner today, as I sold mine to a mate since they wanted one. Besides I knew I could get another a few days later when I needed too. Mythtv certainly still has some appeal to it. Especially over the topfield pvr my wife constantly uses. Who knows if I can ever swing her over, but atleast I know I can make use of it myself. I might as well as I have my old system mentioned above and selling it would not get me a price I would be comfortable with, so I might as well continue to use it for something. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
