Needed a PCI or PCIe HDTV+analog TV tuner which included a This is really a hardware problem (3 above) but I was not able to overcome it at the time. I Still, it suffers from stuttering and pixelation when recording two analog programs while watching an HDTV program. Such as an easy way to tell the software to pick HDTV channels instead of non-HDTV channels that are presenting the same program.ĥ) BTV has a pretty good GUI and good remote controls. Tuner as a starting point for any future PVR build efforts.Ĥ) SageTv has lots of features for "geeks" but is missing lots of features. Theater 650 chipset based tuners which ARE reported to have a Note: Recently, ATI has introduced the ATI This with a dual core 4200+ghz cpu and this was better than two other MBs I tried. This causes excessive CPU utilization and can result in stuttering video when recording two analog channels and watching a HDTV channel.

I now consider this THE major unresoled limitation in trying to build a PC version PVR to compete with a Tivo Series 3.ģ) Don't buy Tuner cards without a hardware encoder on analog channels.
#Sagetv lite drivers
Problems with the Beyond TV and Sage TV approaches?ġ) Tuner cards with drivers not compatible with running two cards together (Dvico).Ģ) Tuner cards that cannot accept cable cards and so limit you to OTA HDTV and analog cable channels. I have done so and, to make a long story short, I just bought a Tivo Series 3. But when it came time for HDTV, I decided to try a "build your own" PVR using SageTV or Beyond TV. Two different issues:Ī) When pointing my satbox remote to the MCE receiver, the macro reacts and no error is shown in EG.I have used a Tivo model 1 for years and love it.

What I have done:ġ) Installed the MS MCE Remote - Vista / Win7 pluginĢ) I did not succeed to install the service, but some of the error code indicates that it is already installedģ) I plugged in my IR emittent cable (same cable that you see in the ebay link) to exit 1 of the MCE receiver and the "lense" over receiving end of my sat boxĤ) I have added a macro (transmit IR) and learnt one of the buttons from my satbox remote controlĥ) Unfortunately, this button does not get blasted to the satbox. I have tried this, but still do not succeed to get the "blasting" working. Sem colon wrote:You create a macro, add this action and learn the IR code you like to blast The red light only lights up at the HP receiver, but not at the end of the IR emittent cable.Īny idea how I can get this working and what role eventghost can play? Thanks!!! When looking at the end of the IR emittent cable, no light lights up when using the remote (neither with the HP remote nor with any other remote). Unfortunately, this blasting function does not work at all. I have an IR emitter cable plugged into the HP receiver with the other end pointing to the sat-receiver.

I pointed my sat-receiver remote control to it and the HP receiver indeed shows a red light that indicates to me that it receives a signal. I understand that I can also use this receiver to blast / extend signals of other remotes. I am now trying to accomplish something different, which I am not sure whether this is possible and whether eventghost can help with that. It works very well with the included remote to control my HTPC (which the receiver is connected to via USB). It works brilliantly out of the box to control my media player on Windows.
