Hi all, I'm looking for some ideas to help me complete my installation set-up.
I've just installed Myth on top of Ubuntu 8.04.1. The machine: - 3Ghz P4 - 1.3G RAM - HDD x 2 (160G primary, 500G secondary) - PVR-150 x 2 - Nvidia MX4000 128Mb RAM - On-board Intel sound card - I only have three PCI slots on the mobo and no AGP - so can't install another sound card. - I have a Hauppauge IR remote but am buggered about setting it up (will have to wait for another month :)) - Standard analogue TV connected to the PC by an s-video to RCA (I think it's called) adapter. - BlueRay player/DVD burner I did start with a PVR-500 (dual tuner) but could NOT get the damn thing to be recognised by Mythbuntu - in fact it refused to install at all. I have sound, but not through the telly (I can plug-in headphones to the on-board sound and it works). I'm assuming I can plug in a cable to the on-board output and see if that works by plugging it into the telly's audio input. I can access telly via the Ubuntu desktop - NOT what I want - with Xawtv - so at least one of the tuners is working. 1. The text is slightly blurry on the desktop (I'm assuming this is the consequence of my telly not having the resolution of a computer monitor) 2. there is a slight 'interference' running on the screen. I'm assuming this is the result of an incorrect refresh rate. 4. I cannot get the machine to boot into the lovely Mythbuntu GUI (with the big buttons that say things like 'Watch Telly'). I can only boot into a desktop like Gnome. 3. The desktop image is slightly drawn to the left. I have an older analogue telly, so there are no 'display' controls as on some LCD telly's and PC monitors. 4. Do I have to plug both tuners into the telly aerial? I'll have to buy a second adapter (male/male) to do this - not a great cost of course) Any help would be most appreciated. This is not a 'mission critical' unit :)) though my wife may criticise my mission if I can't get it to work! Thanks in advance.
