Public bug reported:
I just started using Ubuntu because my underpowered CPU can't keep up with
closed captioning in Windows Media Centre. Usual learning curve, multiple
re-installs, etc.
However, once I had Ubuntu installed and looked for software to work with my TV
tuner card (Hauppauge WinTV USB2-FM), I installed tvtime and in worked within
minutes, including the captioning. (although the sound feed wasn't working).
Nice quick job on scanning for channels on my analog cable service , etc.
Now it's a couple of days later and all I get is static (fuzzy pictures), I
know the tuner is kind of working because I can change channels and the general
outline of the picture seems to match what should be broadcast. I've fiddled
with a bunch of the input/interleave/channel management/finetune/retune
settings, and even de-installed/re-installed.
No effect.
I'm on the newest releae of everything, since its a brand new install (Ubuntu
12.10), and up-to-date software notices have been installed.
The only recent change (since yesterday when it was working) is that I
installed the restricted access bundle for MPlayer to solve a DVD player
problem. with plugins and the sound feed.
I de-installed/re-installed tvtime afterwards just in case there was a
dependency. No effect.
tvtime (1.0.2-9ubunu1.1)
No big deal, but I'm kind of interested in the platform, and would like
to see it working.
