(...It seems that it is a Hybrid card with v4l2 driver ? I am trying to set mine up with MythTV (Hauppauge HVR 1300), the dvb-t part seems to work, but I have a very bad signal, so I use the analog part only at the moment (through a STB). Did you manage to make the mpeg2 hardware compression working with it ? I did configure the card as V4l amalog using /dev/video0 (uncompressed) but the quality is not as good than with than the /dev/video1 (compressed). I can't figure out how to configure Myth for this ? The cat /dev/video1 > test.mpeg work very well. I try to use the the MPEG card type in Myth and I modify mpegrecorder.cpp to avoid to open twice the device (as it is not supported by the driver) but most of the time it is failing. Did you have more luck. Sorry to bother you on your discussion page, but I can't find your email. Xavier 14:08, 25 March 2008)

Few thing I need to write down to remember .... I wished I did it earlier, before I forget half of the problems I had. :(

Hardware

  • Zalman HD160XT Plus
    This case is good but a bit big. It took me a while to find a cornet TV Unit wide and deep enough
    Also none of the buttons, remote or touch screen work yet. As far as I know, no driver are available. (Imon inside). I did start to decode the protocol but didn't have enough time to do a driver yet.
  • Asus P5KC
  • Intel Core Duo
  • CPU Fan CNPS7700-Cu
    I am very please with it, It turn at 1200 rpm very silently and still do a very good job. Highly recommanded.
  • Hauppauge HVR-1300
    This is a Hybrid Analog(mpeg2 encoder)/Digital card. So far, I didn't manage to make both working at the same time or as shared card. The Freeview tuner works very when I could only use the analog with a mpeg4 software encoder.

Hi Xavier - I have two Hauppage cards - a Hauppauge PVR 350 (hardware MPEG encoder/decoder) and a Nova S+ (DVB-S card) so I cant talk directly to your experience. However, from my understanding the dual tuner cards can expose two /dev/video devices to expose the MPEG streams?

I will have a look when I am home at the Myth config..
