[mythtvnz] Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup

[Vance McIndoe]

Thanks Steve - I've got an AMD64 dual core, 3GHz with 4GB RAM, and
therefore kind of hoping I've avoided any cpu constraints.

I've created a capture card entry, using DVB DTV v3.x, as you suggested,
with DVB Device number 0; and a video source using EIT.  The channel
scan seems to lock onto channels, and show signal strengths etc (some at
65%, some at 2%), but the scanning window shows "Timeout Scanning  - no
tables" repeatedly.

$ sudo scan nz-MyFreqs > .tzap/channels.conf

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 682000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 698000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 706000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 714000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 730000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 762000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
>>> tune to:
682000000:INVERSION_AUTO:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_AUTO:FEC_AUTO:QAM_AUTO:TRAN
SMISSION_MODE_AUTO:GUARD_INTERVAL_AUTO:HIERARCHY_AUTO
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010
(Then the same output for the other channels too)

btw. How do I see if the EIT info as been retrieved/stored successfully?

Vance.

Hi Vance,

I am using the same card and have got it tuning..

In your mythtv backend setup:

under capture cards use the v3.x setting.

you also have to set up a video source. At first I chose EIT and I got 8
days og programme data but now I only get now and next. (something to
sort out).

You can then got to input connections where you can scan for channels.

What sort of hardware are you using?

I have a Pentium (single core) 2.8Mhz with 2gb of RAM but I can not play
any HD content as my COU usgae maxes out.

Cheers

Steve
