when it just worked. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yep - the picture quality of Freeview HD from a PS3 is shatteringly awesome. Much better than anything else I have seen. I too got quite excited about this about 12 months ago, but eventually gave up because of....</div>
<div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Now if it wasn't for the audio problem (TV3<br>
recordings are OK), it shows real promise. </blockquote><div><br></div><div>^ that.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Anyone know of any<br>
workarounds to get it to playback the audio from the other NZ Freeview<br>
digital channels?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I tried a couple of hacks:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Transcode LATM audio to AC3 or AAC using cvlc via a Myth user job immediately after recording, where channel != TV3, then repack the unmodified video + modified audio into a new mpeg-ts container. This was a FAIL because the resulting container from VLC was rejected by the PS3, which is *real* bitchy about format compliance.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Tried using the unfortunately name but very handy PMS ( <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/">http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/</a> ) in conjunction with MythArchive (now called MythLink): <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythlink.pl</a> - at the time PMS didn't have the brains or the steam to do this on the fly, but things might have changed.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Obviously both of these only work well with completed recordings. I like to watch some of my stuff before it finishes recording, so I pulled the plug on what was becoming a WAF-draining, time-sucking project.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Another feature that really blew it though is just how noisy the PS3 is, compared to some of the ~silent PC / MacMini options available.</div><div><br></div><div>Would love to hear how you get on.</div>
