Users / tuner card in MD working in 8.10?

« on: March 09, 2010, 04:51:18 pm »

Hi guys,

I have a install of beta 8.10 and a lot of things work so far, but I've got problems with my tunercard nova-s plus. It sits in my msi live barebone MD as my core is a zotac mini itx board and has no pci slot. The card gets recognized properly, but I get jerky liveTV with mythtv - video and audio stops every second for a bit. This also happens when watching a recorded show or timeshifted livetv.
My question now is, does anybody have a nova-s running properly or has anyone running his tvcard in a MD well under 8.10? Any thoughts?

thanks

Users / boot Asus EEE box in beta 8.10

« on: November 29, 2009, 09:04:47 pm »

Hi,

I'm running a beta 8.10 install and I'm trying to netboot a Asus EEE box 202 as MD. The r8168.ko linked at the wikipage doesn't seem to work (due to new kernel?) and I was not successful by hacking the Realtek driver by myself. Could anybody provide a working r8168.ko or is the old one working on other installs?

thanks a lot

Users / Asus eee box as core for bigger installation

« on: September 21, 2009, 07:54:21 pm »

Hi guys,

I'm building my new house at the moment and am planing to set up a Linuxmce installation there.
I read in the forum the Asus EEE box would even work as a core for smaller installations, so could anybody tell for how many MDs it would be good enough? No HD needed, but at least 3 tv tuners, homeautomation, telecom, internetradio and so on.
I would use an usb adaptor for second NIC and put the tv-tuners in a MD.

The main reason I want to use the EEE box is the low power consumption.
In fact I later want to boot up the MD with the tuners automaticly for recordings and watching live tv, but that's for later...

any ideas?

thanks
