I have been getting on OK with the Hauppauge Nova-T-500, have just bought a 2nd one (stay clear of the "Diversity" models though - Nova-TD-500).

What is the difference between a Hauppauge PVR-500 and a Hauppauge Nova-T-500 out of interest?

Installation issues / Network boot through VirtualBox (running in Ubuntu)
« on: November 29, 2008, 02:26:02 pm »
Does anybody know if it is possible to do a network boot through VirtualBox running in Ubuntu Intrepid? I tried setting up an "Ubuntu" OS in VB (obviously I didn't a create disk image) and tried doing the LAN option on initial start up, but it didn't work.

Does anybody have any ideas? Cheers.

Done :-)

There are a couple of older version Nova-T-500s on eBay if anybody else is having this issue.

Thank you both for your replies, it's much appreciated.

I am very much aware of the "diversity" model fiasco, and rang Hauppauge the other day to check it out (as I thought this was a diversity model). The chap on the phone assured me it was not. "But it's a 'TD' and not a 'T'", I said - no, it's not a diversity. "But it has 2 antennas" - no, the second one is a dummy, only 'ANT1' is actually connected to anything! Obviously, I took this all with a pinch of salt.

I've been having another problem since I rebuilt my core (last motherboard fried, so new build had replacement motherboard, and this new TV card) - when starting the machine, it would freeze on either the very first boot screen, the grub screen, or the kubunutu loading screen (seemed to do something different every time). Anyway, moments ago I removed the NOVA-TD-500, and the core starts up fine.

So indulis, I'm sorry you went to the trouble of posting these instructions for me, but I think I'm going to get rid of the card and try and get hold of the older version that I already have. Hopefully Hauppauge will swap it for me.

Thank you both again.

Installation issues / Hauppauge Nova-TD-500 installation issue
« on: November 23, 2008, 02:38:53 pm »
Hello All,

I am having a problem with the installation of my new Nova-TD-500 DVB card in my core, in that it is not recognised by MythTV.

I already have a Nova-T-500 installed in my core, working no problem (apart from the dreaded "USB disconnect issue - http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5593.0). When I decided to buy another, I received the Nova-TD-500 in a Nova-T-500 box.

According to http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI#Installing the newer Nova-TD-500 card is recognised "out of the box" by the upcoming Ubuntu Linux 8.10 release (this also includes Mythbuntu 8.10), so I am assuming that using LinuxMCE 0710 is going to cause a problem.

Does anybody know of a fix for me to get this newer card working under 0710 please? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your replies Andrew - you always make sense!

May I say that I think the Nova-T-500 is really good, it's just this one issue that's bugging me.

Hope we see a solution to this problem at some point in the future.

Btw, unlike the other two chaps, "quick reload router" doesn't appear to fix it - I have to do a proper restart of the core. Just though I'd add that in case it's relevant.

But I'm not using a USB card, it's a PCI one - does the issue remain the same?

Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your reply, great to hear you have a solution.

Could you please explain in slightly more detail what I need to do exactly? I am no expert with LinuxMCE! I'm assuming I have to insert that code in somewhere? Thank you!

I'm having the same problem! Did either of you guys find a solution? I'm using the Hauppauge Nova-T-500.

As you say, can't get a channel lock after a day so, with everything else working fine. I then need to reset the core.

And there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it!!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is a quad core really necessary? I built my core with an OEM AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2GHz processor, and it copes very well. It stays on 24/7, never seems to get too hot, and I run a number of diskless media directors off of it. Obviously it depends on what you intend on doing with your core, but I just thought I'd add my comments in case you waste your money on an overkill system.

Cheers.

Hello all,

I've noticed that the current time isn't displayed in the programme guide screen when browsing for something to watch! Is this an option that I can simply switch on? I certainly haven't been able to find it. I know that the built-in Myth proogramme guide has this feature, but I don't use it.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply.

How come I am able to mount disks on the core (only when I'm using the dektop - can't do it using the orbiter), but not at all on the media director?
