| − | Me and my gf are setting up a freeview mythtv box running Ubuntu with backend and frontend together.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Our Hardware ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Processor: Intel Pentium 4 1.4GHz.
| |
| − | * Motherboard: 8TX Pentium 4 processor motherboard (GA-8TX). Intel 850 chipset.
| |
| − | * RAM: 512MB.
| |
| − | * TV card: 1 x Hauppage Nova-T (Connexant chipset) DVB.
| |
| − | * Graphics card: 32MB NVidia GeForce2 MX 200 (64 bit bus) - TV out.
| |
| − | * Hard Disk: 60GB.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === 1st Attempt - Middle 2005 ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Ubuntu Linux (Hoary Hedgehog), kernel 2.6.12 compiled from source.
| |
| − | ** MythTV 0.18 (from apt-get)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It works in general, but we still need to learn about the following:
| |
| − | * Unjumbleing the channels and removing duplicates.
| |
| − | * Getting the program guide to correctly relate to channels and provide complete info.
| |
| − | * Getting the IR remote set up
| |
| − | * Getting TV-out working
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === 2nd Attempt - Late 2005 ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Ubuntu Linux (Breezy Badger), default Breezy kernel (2.6.14).
| |
| − | ** MythTV 0.18 (from apt-get)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With Breezy the Nova-t card works out of the box. Horray, no re-compiling the kernel. However, we're having problems getting TV-Out to work now.
