I just joined the list a week ago and have been following the different
threads. I am having problems getting MythTV to recognize my PowerViewTV
card. The card is well recognized by TVTime.
TVTime only functions with framegrabbers, and framegrabbers are a poor
choice for anything that needs to record. MythTV has to pull data from
audio and video inputs, and encode it in real time. It's not that hard
to pull off, but the configuration is clumsy and error prone. It's
recommended anyone want to do analog use hardware encoder cards, which
do all that for MythTV, and feed MythTV a simple MPEG stream. Last I
checked, you could generally pick up used PVR-150s for $20-25, or
PVR-500s (dual tuners) for about twice that.

Thanks! For the info.
So, what TVCard would you recommend for someone who would like to record
2 channels at the same time, and, that work well with MythTV? I am on
Mageia2 Linux.
Cheers,
Marc
Your first post suggests that you are in Canada and want to receive analog
TV. Raymond's post mentions the PVR-500 which would likely be a good
choice. If you have access to digital signals via cable or OTA I believe
you would need something else. Location, signal source (and price) are
important things to know when making recommendations.

Oops! Yes, of course. Here are the specs:
Location: Canada
Signal: digital

<pre wrap="">I am not sure if you are somewhat confused. You started by saying you
are successfully using tvtime. Now you say your source is digital. I
am not sure that tvtime supports any digital sources, so are you sure?

OK now I am confused. I am on Rogers Cable Waterloo Canada. I think
that analog service is no longer available and we can only get
digital service. I think that people who were using analog service
are still able to use their TV's with cable, but, if you are using
an antenna, you need to get the box for conversion ... or something
like that.<br>
<br>
This page will explain what we have, we do not use any digital
adapters[1] ... as you can see, I am not too familiar with all of
this. <br>
<br>
TVTime works on all or our Linux boxes with all channels.<br>
<br>
Does that make sense?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
