For those that don't know: WAF = Wife Acceptance Factor<br>I am using Mythbuntu 9.10 (MythTV 0.22rc) with 1 HDHR and 1 HD-PVR and so far, with the help of many, I have been able to solve almost every problem I have come across. The current 2 issues I cannot figure out and I hope someone can help me with is:<br>
<br>1. I only have 1 tuner that can watch/record all my premium channels (HD-PVR) and that being so it is recording a lot of shows. My wife however loves just watching live TV (I am trying to break her of this habit), but if the HD-PVR is recording she cannot watch anything unless she goes into "manage recordings -> upcoming recordings" and then stops the current recording show. Is there anyway to allow her to stop a current recording from the program guide or live tv (or at least prompt her to stop the recording)? I know if something is about to record on the current tuner you can tell it to not record and just watch TV instead but I can't find a way to do the same thing if the recording has already started. Please help cause other than this "feature" my wife is almost sold on using MythTV.<br>
<br>2. My sound levels are really off. I am using a Gigabyte board with onboard Realtek ALC889A. My TV is plugged in with the standard 3.5mm -> RCA (composite) jack. The HD-PVR is a lot louder than the HDHR but both are still much quieter than just the cable plugged into the TV or cable box. Normally my TV volume is set to 10-20 but with MythTV (live TV and recordings) I have to have the levels at 20-40. With the AC on and recording from the HDHR, I sometimes have to go up to 60-70 volume levels. I have the system volume already set to 100% and I can't figure out a way to make it any louder. Is there some sort of audio booster, better Realtek driver, or another external soundcard someone would recommend that may be better supported? I also would like to have the option for optical audio so that would be something to consider with a second sound card.<br>
<br>Thank you guys for all your help and I look forward to any suggestions or fixes you may have.<br clear="all"><br>--<br>Justin Garrison<br><a href="http://1n73r.net">1n73r.net</a><br>
