Users / Re: Anybody tried AVerTV Duo Hybrid PCI-E Yet?

« on: January 12, 2008, 09:35:02 am »

Yep saw that thanks... but was hoping that somebody had experimented with the new card and could say if it worked or not.

Not really prepared to shell out for a card that may never work.. especially when I need a new PC to make it work anyway.

For now I'll have to be TV less

Users / Anybody tried AVerTV Duo Hybrid PCI-E Yet?

I was originally trying to get the 777 but it's not available any longer.

The AVerTV Duo Hybrid PCI-E is the new model out and seems quite popular on some windoze media center boards.....

Just wondering if it's compatible with Linux or not...  can't find any references to it yet, but it's fairly new so to be expected.

Users / Re: What's the difference between the following Hauppauge models?

The AVerTV DVB-T 777 (A16AR) looks like the best card as it has HDTV 1080i which is ideally what I want since I have a 50" plasma to connect up to the MD.

thanks for the tip on the AVerTV cards.... just have to find one in OZ now.

Users / What's the difference between the following Hauppauge models?

« on: November 11, 2007, 05:37:54 am »

I'm about to go out and buy a digital TV card (for use in Australia) and was going to get the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1110.  Searching the web I am struggling to find this product in Australia.

I can get the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1110MCE model, but have no idea what the difference between the two is..... other than the MCE model being OEM.

Will the MCE version work or should I keep searching for the non-MCE version?

Installation issues / Re: Start-up to a black screen with mouse pointer

« on: July 02, 2007, 10:27:35 am »

I can't open a terminal window as I cannot see anything other than my mouse pointer.

The screenshot would be a complete black screen with a movable mouse pointer on it.

I can ctl-alt-F1 - F6 for cmd line sessions, but that ain't much good unless I can change the config from the command line.

What is the URL for the web admin?

Installation issues / Start-up to a black screen with mouse pointer

« on: July 02, 2007, 09:39:40 am »

I've done the install but get a black screen with a mouse pointer on it...

I've tried Ctl-Alt-F7 but that also opens to a blank screen.

How do I reset the video mode of my PC to something low?

I have tried to connect via another PC to the web admin page, but it can't find it at http://191.168.10.12 which is the address of the computer with everything installed on it.

Everything appeared to be working until that final reboot after installation was complete...

thanks
