I think "get it", "install it" and "troubleshoot it" all belong in one FAQ, but I can see a "use it" FAQ as a separate entity. I already think the developer FAQ should be a separate entity and started a discussion in the developer forum about that FAQ.
FYI There is already a FAQ in the Wiki which Zaerc and Lozzo edited, but these answer more general questions than some of the 'how do I do X' questions I see posted in the forums.
Keep in mind that most FAQs I see these days aren't really Frequently Asked Questions. They're just more top-down instructions repackaged as Q&A. I wonder if there's any way to actually find out which questions are frequently asked, and then answer them. That would have a lot more value to the questioners. Though there's still a lot of value in answering the "Most Important Questions". unless there is some way to cull the existing forum, i think someone is gonna have to manually look through the threads. Some things I notice a lot -Resolution - Displays, screen resolution, UI choices. -Recommended system specs, ie HD ready vs standard def ready systems.

How about a separate User FAQ with "get it", "install it" and "troubleshoot it" and "use it" (features) sections. And a separate Developer FAQ, with "get source", "compile", "navigate", "report bugs" and "contribute changes" sections.
And then a separate Community FAQ that identifies all the documentation, notification and discussion locations. Where to see news, where and how to post questions, how to search for answers, how to contribute to the discussions, the wiki, the code.
Probably some crossreferencing between them.
So who A. Makes the decision of organizing it? B. Actually does it? Because your idea sounds like a nice mod to the original post.

Hi guys,
I added my steps in the mantis, but I'm still running 7.04, and the answer from Ender was:
"Did you try this with 0710beta's ? The issue you are describing was happening with 0704 if the user activated manually the repeated keys while Orbiter was running."
Anybody got the problem still under 7.10, or is it solved?
greetz augalex
im wondering too since it doesnt seem that we are going to get a straight answer / fix for 7.04.

the solution is supposedly to : 'You need to reload the router after adding the gyro dongle, to let orbiter initialize the hid module.' i got this from the mantis update...will see if it works before i have to go to work  yeah so i: deleted the gyromouse from the system via the admin panel reloaded the router plugged in the dongle. let it download and install the software. reloaded the router when it was done. noticed it installing something called usbraw when it was done, reloaded again but still nothing. if anyone else has any uck, please let us know.

the update media function has some issues when you try and run it manually. There was another thread on this already.
I generally have to manually add media. other methods seem to be a waste of time. unless you have nothing but time.

I guess you missed the earlier thread about this topic. Im actually attempting to rally some of my higher level geeky friends to teach me / help code a plugin for lmce. I figured it would be better if was part of lmce as opposed to myth mainly because im a lmce user and want to learn more about the system / how to help fix & code things within it. I will update when I get started, should be this week

Hello, I'm using 0704 and have a PVR 150 tuner card. I'm able to listen to FM radio stations via MythTV. Does anyone know if either LMCE or MythTV provides a way to record FM channels? Thanks.
Hmmm... I'm not a MythTV user so I'll pose a question first... If you can listen to FM broadcasts live inside Myth then i would assume that Myth must support the capability to 'record' those broadcasts too. In the new 0710 vdr integration we inherently support 'Radio' channels as they are just another DVB channel type that vdr supports. You can do anything with them that you can do with a TV channel... apart from 'watch' them of course ;-) Well I was checking on the myth wiki and they said something about needing a data source for the stations and programming. i'll try and find that post and add it here. im still looking for a recording solution but so far no dice.

No, that is a PLC.
You want 2412S PLM (PowerLinc MODEM)
It's $10.00 cheaper.
gotcha. as soon as i find one (hopefully not online) i will give it a go. I have an all x10 setup, do i need to buy insteon modules too?
