<DIV>I have to say if I had my time with Myth all over again, I wouldn't yet bother with Terrestrial Freeview. Don't get me wrong, it looks fantastic and now that I have it I won't go back. However, I reckon a setup with 2 Sat Freeview tuners would give an excellent result with much lower cost and many more options for frontends.</DIV>

<DIV>Good luck with it. </DIV>

I haven't done so because I just haven't quite got all the correct connections on my AV gear and I want to get some universal remotes so that we have a consistent experience across the front ends.<BR><BR>You just need JYA's repositories, JYA has incorporated Paul Rendall's work as far as I know, (could have sworn it was Paul Kendall though).<BR><BR>Then again if you have enough CPU
grunt you don't need JYA's but would then need Paul's.<BR><BR>I did have an issue with pixelation on TV1 and TV2, and only solved it by not using VDPAU on 720p or lower resolution, (see previous emails).<BR><BR><BR><BR>________________________________<BR>From: Aaron Drysdale <<A href="mailto:Aaron.Drysdale@provencocadmus.com" ymailto="mailto:Aaron.Drysdale@provencocadmus.com">Aaron.Drysdale@provencocadmus.com</A>><BR>To: <A href="mailto:mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz" ymailto="mailto:mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz">mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz</A><BR>Sent: Thursday, 21 May, 2009 1:43:48 PM<BR>Subject: [mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 working with Freeview HD<BR><BR><BR>After getting my system working perfectly with a Nova-S Plus and VDPAU, I would like to expand my setup with a Nova-T 500 to get Freeview HD and have multiple tuners.<BR><BR>I've read the most recent article in Mythtvnz, where it summarises that it mostly works, but is not quite ready for prime
time yet. I'm wondering, is this a case of YMMV? My system has plenty of CPU grunt, and I'm also using JYA's VDPAU backport on an nVidia 8500GT very successfully. Does anyone actually use a Nova-T 500 full time for watching Live TV? Is it possible yet, or still just for playing with? This is a system that my wife and kids use probably more than I do.<BR><BR>Also, I'm a little confused about what I need in my frontend to playback Freeview HD. If I understand correctly, I would need a specific audio codec to get sound. Is this supported in JYA's frontend? Or do I need to use Paul Rendall's repository? And if I use that, do I then lose VDPAU?<BR><BR>Many thanks<BR>Aaron<BR><BR><BR> <BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>mythtvnz mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:mythtvnz@lists..linuxnut.co.nz" ymailto="mailto:mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz">mythtvnz@lists.linuxnut.co.nz</A><BR><A
