No surprise, one has to get all the ducks lined up before it will run! </FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>I didn't find a complete list of up to date settings.</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>In frustration I started writing out my settings to ask on the list, however in doing that I got the golden combination! Having done that I imagine someone else will find it helpful....</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Technotrend was run up using 8.04.1, don't bother trying to setup mythtv until the updates have been run.</FONT></PRE></DIV>
<DIV><PRE><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had not found a report of NOVA-S+ working in MythBuntu, so maybe I am first!? </FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial size=2>The NOVA-S+ was run up using 8.10 alpha 4, again ran up fine with the below settings following the update. I see alpha 6 is now out, not sure if updates brings it up to alpha 6. Also not sure what the differences are between the two boxes, it may only be that 8.10 uses XFS by default. (?)</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway...here it is.... The settings I used are...</FONT></PRE></DIV>

<DIV><PRE><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>Teletext is how it should always been, moving it into the sphere of a useable data source, with instant display of screens. EPG is also working with the above.</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>Still to get the remotes working.</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>Also not yet figured how to control where the image is displayed - one box is displaying the image only composite out (NVIDIA series 4 card) and second (NVIDIA 5200) is VGA only! Image quality from the latter is stunning on a 1600x1200 CRT monitor, with excellent clarity from even a foot. It is the first time I have seen excellent quality TV from so close! It is also almost as good as HD.</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>Be nice to get the image on the TV output(s) and still have ubuntu on the monitor. Not sure if that can be done though. (Short of doing it remotely off the box)</FONT></PRE><PRE><FONT face=Arial>Have fun!<BR>David</FONT></PRE></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
