[mythtv-users] Black and White Capture with VStream XPert

[Gee, David]

To answer your question about VBI, it is the device used to obtain
teletext/ceefax information. However, digital TV uses a completely different
system - teletext is an analogue-only system, digital uses the new "press
red for interactive content" system, and I'm not sure how this is handled in
Linux.
 

Regards,
David

If I remember
right, on my card I got to pick a source from a choice of:

tuner 
composite
S-Video

Later on in mythtvsetup you get to assign the source to a program listing.



I think I've done that, I added two Video Sources named Composite and
SVideo, in the input connections there are two inputs for the V4L
/dev/video0, named Composite1 and S-Video. I've given each their own Video
Source. 

In the channel editor I added two channels: 600 is named composite with a
Video Source of Composite, and 601 is for SVideo. The configuration I
thought I needed to change was on the Channel Editor screen "TV Format:"
which can be PAL, NTSC, SECAM, PAL-NC... etc. 

But that is all mythtv configuration, and is probably irrelevant. I
installed tvtime, and viewed livetv on that, and it was in B/W, no matter
what TV Format I chose.

I notice when I setup the card, I don't have a VBI device, what is VBI? Is
it important? 



(BTW I'd be surprised if you are using the cx88_dvb module for the
analog part of the capture process.) 



So would I - I was just wondering which modules are actually being used!

Thanks,

Jonny
