<br>
<br>
I have a TBS2603, and it seems to be working fine, generating
video with good quality.
<br>
<br>
The mythtv IPTV encoder page has scripts for using the encoder
with mythtv, but those scripts look fairly complex. They power
up and down the cable box, etc. I have a (partially) working
system by having only a start recording script that does nothing
more than change the channel using 6200ch. Am I missing
something? Should it be more complex than what I have in place?
<br>
<br>
I did need a lock file in the start recording script, since
mythtv 28 seemed to call the script twice, which messed up with
channel changing.
<br>
<br>
The problem I am having is with LiveTV. I use Kodi for my
frontends, and it gets a channel unavailable a lot with the
TBS2603, but not with my HDPVR. Can anyone imagine a reason for
this? I'll be testing the mythfrontend today.
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
<br>
Gerald

I've been running a week now with flawless encoding, channel
changing, livetv, etc.
<br>
<br>
Just to summarize my TBS2603 install:
<br>
<br>
<br>
- MythTV 29 works WAY better than 28. If you use this device, I'd
say your minimum install 29
<br>
<br>
- the Wiki page is overly complicated because the scripts power up
and down the STB. If you don't do that, you only need a recording
started script.

If you have a power outage, will the STB come on again when power is
restored? I used to do recordings via a STB and I included power
on/off code to handle the problem of a power outage, because the STB
would not come on after power was restored.<br>
