[mythtv-users] HDPVR S/PDIF troubles

[John J Tucker]

Eric,

Thanks for the pointer.  I'll change the capture card audio setting and check the database but I think the problem is with the coax to optical converter I'm using.  I'll try another and let the list know if that is the problem.  This will keep someone else from buying a converter that doesn't work and which will.

adios,
jt
