I bought a hvr1600, I assume the atsc tuner should show up in the myth card setup as a separate tuner, should I add it by adding it as a separate card? Again has anybody run into this problem?

Is Cable an option for you? Switching from DirecTV to cable and eliminating the set to boxes is the best thing I did for my LinuxMCE setup.
I currently have cable through my HOA, which does not allow other cable companies in the community. The cable company only offers a limited number of channels. To get the few other channel packages they offer u have to pay an arm and 3 legs. It would work out a lot cheaper for me to go with dish network and I would get a lot more channels,thanks for the suggestion though.

The problem is that external STB's may have two tuners but they can still only output the signal from one of those tuners at any time - you would need 4 dual tuner STB's to deliver the capability you describe I'm afraid.
Some Dish Network dual tuner DVRs (such as vip722, vip722k, etc) support "two rooms" and therefore, have two video outputs. Not sure if you will be able two control two separate "rooms" with IR, though. Typically TV2 responds to the RF remote. I have successfully used two RF remotes before, but not two IR remotes. o Maybe setting different addresses for each is sufficient, but I've never tried it. the VIP722's with dual tuners are what I was looking at, what I'm trying to find is the best card to get to facilitate the use of two dual tuner VIP722's?

I have 5 bedrooms, a loft and a family room, so I wanted to start off with the ones that may be used simultaneously, which be 4 areas. With a dish tv dual tuner receiver, I can have all four areas covered with two receivers. The issue I'm wondering about is the number of core capture card inputs required. I only have two slots left on my board. Which card or solution should I go with? Sorry if this is a retarded question, but I might be missing something. Thanks

LinuxMCE / Users / still image as cover art?

Before moving on to lmce I was using windows mce, which used a snapshot still image of a scene in a movie as cover art rather than just the title like in lmce. Is possible to have the same rather than having to go to the admin and go through IMDb for multiple files?

Hi, I keep getting "Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation" when trying to open the kubuntu desktop. Reinstalled, tried apt-get etc, am I out of the loop? Is there something I can do?

Thanks fellas, axis cameras do look good, but i agree they are expensive. I wanted at least 3 until i looked up the price, $1000 a piece, i didnt even bother to look at the more expensive ones lol. For 3000 i can feed 3 pitbulls and buy a rusty shotgun for A nightguard lol.
