<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Yes bridging works well. I have two
Ceton cards. One card set local only and one in bridged mode

use with testing on WinOS DVR apps over the network. It took
me a
month or two of reading and trial and error before my MythTV
system
was stable enough to be called functional. And it has remained
this
way for the passed 10+ months. I had fun learning every step
of the
way. </p>

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">You NEED your signal strength a SNR

thought
MythTV handles signal errors very well.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in">When bridging the Ceton card you
need
to slow down and or rearrange the boot process a bit to allow
the
card to obtain an IP address before MythTVbackend starts. </p>

I successfully bridged my InfiniTV card with a static IP.<br>
I can use mplayer on Ubuntu to play from an rtsp URL for the
InfiniTV. Great, Basic communication works.<br>
I used setup-mythtv to define the capture card as a Ceton InfiniTV
and with the static IP address I used with mplayer and with viewing
the card status in a browser. But, alas, mythtv does not appear to
work with it. It fails during the back-end startup. <br>
<br>
Should I have defined the device as a Ceton InfiniTV card to mythTV?
Perhaps it assumes it is a local card and does not use the correct
protocol to communicate with it? Also, does anyone know where the
remote protocol is defined? I have seen snippets about what URL to
use to change channels, to view a channel, etc. but I have not seen
a complete list. Perhaps it is a standard?<br>
<br>
I'm hoping to understand this well enough to be able to improve on
the wiki for the InfiniTV.<br>
