Installation issues / TV capture cards

« on: July 21, 2008, 02:27:33 am »

Hi All,

I have a DVICO DVB't lite capture card and it works perfectly under the hybrid/core, but when i try to watch tv via the hybrid/core it tells me it is already in use. Is this due to the fact that i only have one capture card and the hybrid/core? I didn't want to purchase another card yet till the issue was resolved. Any help would be great.

Regards

Justin

Installation issues / TV capture cards - Australian Linuxmce setup

« on: June 29, 2008, 12:58:32 am »

Hi All,

I am curious to know of any oz linuxmce users that run multiple tv capture cards in a core machine that work with little or no configuration in linuxmce.

Could you please advise which ones work well and which ones to avoid.
I am also curious to find out how to set them up in the core (ie tune channels, etc) or whether they are setup up via some other means. I had a look around the forums and i didn't have much luck.

I am new to this and am looking to move away from windows media centre and very much like the features this product has and can see why people are using it.

Many Thanks in advance
Justin

Installation issues / ISSUES AFTER FIRST INSTALL SCREEN

« on: June 22, 2008, 04:25:41 am »

Hi All,

I am new to this and am very keen to get this up and running. I have downloaded the DVD_amd_64 version on 2 seperate occassion and machines at different locations in case it was location specific. Basically the proble i have is as follows, I boot off the CD and i can see the kbuntu screen and i can choose either install to HDD, memory or boot to first HDD. Cool - this works fine, after this if i choose install to HDD (option 1) the screen goes black and nothing. I have tried this using analog, DVI or svideo and the same result happens. I thought it was the burner or location specific and subsequently tried to download and setup from another location - same issue.

My configuration is as follows

MSI K9N Neo (with latest bios)
AMD athlon 64 x2 4800+ processor
2GB DDRII RAM
250GB SATA seagate HDD
ASUS EN8400GS Pci express video card (Nvidia chipset)
DL DVDRW
Various capture cards - have tried 3 different types..same fault.
Thermaltake Mozart IP case.

This machine will be used a MD only. Yes it is an overkill but it was left over from another project. Any thoughts or suggestions as to why this is not even getting past the start line.

Thanks in Advance

Justin
