Do a "man date". Also look into ntp, ntpd, ntpdate, zoneinfo and
related information.

If your card is a PVR-150, then you shouldn't be patching audio at all;
the card should extract it, encode it, and put it in the MPEG-2 stream.
If you've told MythTV to capture audio from some other piece of hardware
for a program recorded on a PVR-, that's probably your problem.

i assume you are running them either of seperate LNBs or thru a

hooked up to the multiplexer?

I'd consider better cables before switching capture cards. You may be
picking up some interference. You don't have to spend a fortune to get
reasonable (well-shielded) cables, but a lot of the really cheap cables
(especially those that are packed in with A/V gear) are horrible.

Re: (no subject) [ In reply to ]
I was reading up some information.

The audio from the cable box, am i suppose
to hook it to my pvr-150 audio-in, or to my on-board sound card line-in?

I was thinking to hook it up to my on-board sound see if it makes a difference.

I think the cables I got were of better quality then the cheapo ones.

Ill double check though.

It has to go to the PVR-150 to be recorded into the MPEG stream.

It will, but not in the way you're hoping. ;)

As suggested by someone else, check the output from your cable box.
Also, make sure your audio cables are plugged in all the way--ISTR
someone saying something was getting in the way unless you turn the plug
a particular way.

Just to warn you, you have to hook it up to the PVR-150 if you want any
audio in your recordings.

Connect your audio from your STB to the audio input of the PVR card,
NOT your sound card's input, unless you want to listen to out-of-time
audio all the time.

I suspect you are thinking of the plug for the IR sensor/blaster,
which is so close to the edge of the card that it will hit the metal
unless you orient it so that the beveled side is facing the edge.
AFAIK the 1/8" audio input is a standard connector, but does need
moderate pressure to ensure it is seated completely.

You haven't provided many details, like are you talking about HD or
SD video, but you could NFS or Samba mount the files from wherever
they are stored and play them that way.

Or better still, depending on the networkspeed and the format, you could
install the frontend on your laptop and have it connect to the backend.
For recordings you'd be fine this way, if you want to watch video's as
well, you need to mount the dir where the video's are stored on your laptop.

Sorry, I wan't being clear!

I travel quite a bit by train etc., so I figured I could download
recordings to the laptop's local drive for off-line viewing on the train
etc. (When unconnected to any type of network.)

I know myth uses a db to catalog the recordings, so I guess it's just a
case of copying the file and the relevant db entries?

I intend to install a server as a backend at home and two or three small
front-ends (probably diskless) for viewing around the house (using wired
ethernet.)

I am trying to do this exact thing. If you have any MySQL skills at

I'm in the same situation, I've got the recording directory shared via
samba. Combined with the mythtv-filters[1] I just browse there and
download the recordings to my laptop and watch them on the way as well.
There are scripts to make nice filenames, but I'm happy the way it is
already...

What about making your laptop a slave backend while at home, but when
you "travel" switch over it's config to be the master, copy the db
over, and the files. It would take a bit of planning so you could
transfer the files; unless you used a removable USB drive for your
recordings, then you wouldn't even have to transfer them. Just
provide a universal recording directory at home (via something like
NFS)... Hmmm, but when you travelled you'd no longer be able to
capture recordings you've scheduled unless you had 2 mirrored drives.

Probably easiest idea that I can think of manually would be to copy
the db and files, and then switch the laptop into master backend mode
when you remove it from the network.

I considered doing something like that, but after my "transitional"
playback method worked so well, I dropped all plans of trying to get a
full-fledged Myth setup for travel.

I use the mythrename.pl script to create useful names for my recordings
(sorted by original air date so I know the order for playback) and copy
recordings across the network and play them back via xine. With xine, I
have an easy to use, keyboard accessible player that has timestretch (my
#1 requirement for a player), so it has all the things I need.
