Hi all,
Just curious how everyone with a similar setup has gotten things to work
seamlessly?
I've just ordered the RCA Cable pack from SnapStream (the receiver I got was
the RCA DRD435RH) and I'm hoping it will be able to receive signal properly
from MythTV.
Have some questions on the details -
I got this RCA.pl from http://tarek.2y.net/myth/. From the MythTV
documentation, I think this is what I specify as my 'changechannel' program.
Is this what I put in for the external channel changer in the Input Connections
menu? Do I just cp this file to /usr/local/bin/changechannel and it magically
starts to work?
I've also noticed that while watching LiveTV that the channel changing from the
DirectTV Guide using my DirecTV remote is sluggish. I know this is because the
live feed is being recorded so that I can pause it, etc, and that it's because
my disk access is the culprit. Does anyone have any easy tweaks to speed
things up? Maybe specify a particular bitrate/resolution so that not as much
is written to disk?
Thanks in advance!
