Installation issues / Re: HD Homerun Help

« on: January 28, 2010, 10:58:22 am »

Thanks Mythified I will give that I try.............would you mind clarifying a couple more things for me as I will have to add a 3rd MD soon

1. So if I am watching one channel on a MD in the family room then in theory I should be able to watch a different channel on MD in the Bedroom
2. I assuming then both should be able to be recorded at the same time
3. If so what happens if the kids then start up a 3rd MD in the bedroom and want to watch TV do they just get a msg that TV is "not available" until the tuners become available or I assume they could stop the recordings and start watching live TV.
4. Most important question so I can better understand the architecture of the system can more than 2 x MD directors use the one HD Homerun at the same time or am I going to have to buy more, as I would like to be able to at least record one program whilst watching another on the Family room MD whilst the kids are watching live TV in there room
5. Lastly if I am at work and the family are currently watching two different channels on different MD's and I want to use Mythweb to record my favorite show at the same time can I select that program and start recording it, or do I have to set some priority within mythtv or is someone at home watching there channel suddenly going to see my channel whilst it is recording.

GOOD questions Beeker... I am a newbie (trying to get pasted this) and would like to know the answer to these questions too.  I have ordered a HD Homerun from Newegg and should have it here Friday. 

I have been reading through the Wiki... good stuff!  This video is awesome if you have not yet seen it:

Thanks to all!

Installation issues / Re: Could not start ksmserver. Check installation.

I just did a 8.10b2 dvd install and am receiving this error whenever I try to go to the kde desktop. I am turning up nothing when I try to search for this in the forum. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening or where to start on a fix? This is the 3rd time I have done the install and I have had the error every time.

I am getting the same with a fresh DVD install tonight... I'm looking for a solution too.

I also do not seem to be able to download or install myth, as a result it fails to start up after a reload.

Hello Group...  Thom I have been watching and learning and yes, put together my first LinuxMCE 0810 server last night!!!  I'm very excited about learning more and collecting the parts that will enable my home to be automated in all aspects possible by MCE.  I am not a Linux guru, but am getting around well enough to be dangerous.

Re... the OrbiterInstaller.msi is 0 bytes question above... I too logged into the admin area and the link to the Win Installer pulls down a 0 byte file.  I tried using the RapidShare link above and the response was ~too many downloads had occurred for this type of account.

How can I fix the issue in the server or builder so the correct file is available through that link?

Thanks everyone for all the entertaining reading and YouTube videos.
