Installation issues / Xantech ZC21 - Two zone connecting block

« on: November 10, 2009, 01:27:25 pm »

Hi,

I would like to know if this connector block works well with lmce usbuirt. I need the two zone because I will have two cable boxes in the same place connected in my pvr 500. I have two double emmiters "xantech 286" and I need control of my home teather, 2 cable boxes and my samsung tv.

If work, do I need make some special configuration?

Thank you.

When I choose the option TV on UI, I receive one message saiyng some thing like "I´m unable to use this type of media..etc".

Installation issues / mythtv coloured bar [FIXED]

« on: August 20, 2009, 03:53:39 pm »

Hi all

When I start TV playback, one coloured bar appears on the botton of screen (picture attached).
I fix this using the front end setup, on playback setup menu, fixing vertical scale from 2 (original) to 11. But when I reload router or restart the core mythtv back to original configuration, changing the vertical scale to 2 again and the coloured bar apperars again.
Anyone knows how can I fix this? forever?

Another question, what is the maximum bitrate to use with PVR 500?

Thanks in advance.

Installation issues / MythTV / USB UIRT sending multiple commands [SOLVED]

« on: June 04, 2009, 07:36:42 pm »

I almost done!
But now I have another problem with mythtv and usbuirt. I thing this is because the "external channel changer script"

My cable box is controled by USB UIRT, and 2 weird things are happens when I select "TV" from menu on UI.

1- The TV is turned OFF automatically when i select TV on UI, and then, I need to turn it ON, after this all commands works like a charm.
2- When mythtv shows the first TV image, USB-UIRT send multiple commands to my cable box (e.g 334400) and I can´t change channels, because every time when I press the number of one channel, USB UIRT send other numbers, and the number I was trying to input is ignored.

Inside mythtv setup, I select channel 3 to "preset tuner to channel" and I type the command to use external change channels script, like show the wiki.

Thanks in advance.

Installation issues / Fiire Chief - Volume Control, cable box and.. and..

« on: March 24, 2009, 04:44:05 am »

Hello,

After almost one year trying to make my sytem work 100%, I almost done.. but I have some problems and now I come to the forum to see if anybody can help me..sorry about my poor english but I think you can understand me.

1) I have a Fiire Chief and I can't control my channels because I use a cable box, or sattelite box, I don't know how can I call this, and it use the "composite" inputs to connect to my PVR 500. My question is.. I need to make a IR blaster? (sorry, I really don't have idea how to get this working, and IR Blaster is the only thing that I found referring to control channels...) Or anything to get the control of my channels on the cable box? And how can I make this?

2) I have a 32" Samsung LCD TV (LN32A330J1), and I can't control the volume... I just have control of the TV when I press the button "TV".. .but I would like to use the gyro function to control volume without need to press the TV button... and finally get the 3 buttons to control all in the LCME...

3) When I use the option "Power Off", I can't power off just the TV.. or I power off everything or when I press to turn off TV and nothing happens.

Well..that's it.

thanks in advance.
