I use ch as my channel changer. In order to run the above code I created a script and use that script in mythtv-setup for my channel change program.
Here is mine:. To use this option, create a script:. Repeat for the "LiveTV started" event. After that, every time a recording starts it will run the fix and your recording should have proper colors. The table below shows the driver package filename for installation on Windows, the date of the driver package when downloaded directly from Hauppauge's site, this is from the timestamp of the file on their server , the date of the firmware ROM files within the driver package the hcwhdpvr.
These issues usually materialize either as 0-byte recordings or heavily damaged i. There are a few different theories on what can cause these issues, as well as a variety of solutions to try.
A few things to try if you discover you are having intermittent failures of recordings from the HD-PVR:. Note: As of Linux Kernel 2. However, the driver may not have the necessary bits to enable the IR transmitter. You only have to follow this procedure if. Note: This how-to has been upgraded to support a more current kernel versions 2.
The historical Mercurial [ instructions ] may still work on older kernels. Currently, firmware loading is unimplemented in the driver. As a result, if you have a "rev c1" or newer unit you must install the HD-PVR at least once on a Windows machine to load the firmware into it. If you have a Revision 2 unit including a sticker marked "rev c2" on the bottom of the unit then it will come loaded with a firmware. Once you have done so, you will need a working build environment, git, and kernel headers installed on your system.
In Debian and debian-based distros, the following command should install all necessary dependencies to build the driver. In RPM based distros such as Mythdora, the following command should suffice, assuming the proper development tools, kernel-headers and kernel-devel have already been installed.
Note: Compilation errors do occur some times:. If dmesg shows "wrong firmware version," and "device init failed," then you did not install the device in Windows first and the firmware has not been loaded. In Ubuntu, the module may fail to load and refer you to the dmesg command.
If this happens, reboot and see if the error resolves itself. It is also possible that Ubuntu is prioritizing another, older copy of the v4l-dvb modules above the one you just installed, and the HD-PVR will fail because the two versions do not match.
The HD PVR itself has plenty of options: You can run through the component video hookups as I did along with right and left audio , or run with Optical video out and in.
On the front of the unit, there are also connections for SVideo, if you happen to be running that, or composite video from another console. The hookups on the box are solid, and the component video worked well. The HDPVRCapture software allows you to set a bitrate for recording the video, which mainly just affects hard drive usage more video information obviously means more hard drive space used.
To test, I first set the bitrate super low at kbps , and as a result, the output video was grainy and hazy, albeit still usable. Running at a higher bitrate, however I kicked it up to around kbps , creates really beautiful video -- full i footage, perfect for playing on any HD television or projector or, more likely, YouTube's HD settings. In fact, the video file that I created by running the device for about 30 minutes was so big and so HD that my little years-old Macbook actually had trouble running it, at least until I closed some other apps.
Editing or even viewing video of that quality could be a problem if you have an old computer to work on. But most video editors will have computers much more powerful than my little laptop, so high quality video shouldn't be a problem. The Windows Media Center electronic program guide operates as normal with supported set top boxes. Currently, there are no drivers available for Linux. Drop a note to dvb flensrocker.
By connecting the Component video output from your high definition cable TV or satellite TV set top box to the component video inputs of the HD PVR, you will be able to record the TV programs coming from your set top box to the hard disk.
Check your owner's manual to see if your Blu-ray player is compatible. If it is not, check with the manufacturer to see if a firmware update is available. There are two ways of bringing audio into HD PVR: through the stereo audio jacks or through the optical audio connector. When bringing audio in through the SPDIF optical audio jack, the audio is recorded in the format which is received.
If the source provides AC-3 audio, the audio track is AC There is no conversion of the audio format. Currently, the Arcsoft TME application will only support editing from the beginning or the end of a clip to preserve AC-3 5. Any editing or cuts made in the middle segments of a clip will result in the audio being transcoded back to 2 channel audio.
AC-3 5. If you are creating a standard DVD the audio will be transcoded to 2 channel. Creating MP4 files will also result in 2 channel audio.
The component video outputs act as a pass through for live video streaming from your video source through the HD PVR back to your TV monitor. Most of the time this is caused by the display adapter, make sure your video card meets the minimum requirements. Also try updating to the latest drivers supplied by the manufacturer. Check to see how you have your Television connected to your set top box. In order for the audio pass through to operate correctly you need to configure the settings in the Total Media Extreme application.
No, currently none of the VBI is captured in the stream. This feature will be added some time in the future. This information has been spread on user forums, however, Revision C3, D2, and E1 revisions are all functionally equivalent, and will address the same issues. The audio format is "passed through" to the recording. In other words, if your source includes AC-3 audio, this audio will be used in your recording. The default formats you can record in are:.
M2TS and. You may then record to any of the hard disk drives installed or connected to the PC, including external drives. It is not recommended to use a different USB cable other than the cable provided with the device. Make sure you're gaming system is not set to p. Please set the output resolution to i or p. Please see the appropriate setup instructions for your game console:. If you are editing the file using the Total Media Extreme applications built in editor, this allows you to create a project file that can be burned to a blu ray compatible DVD.
For example, I had to write my own channel changing script, because the ones I found online were not working quite right for my setup. Pros: Excellent picture quality.
Easy setup. I like the enclosed software Totalmedia Extreme. I do not use it to drive my STB as I simply pull off programming. I use some opensource software to recompress and not the enclosed software but it looks easy. It's a known problem and there doesn't seem to be a fix for it, yet. However, the lack of AC3 support for me is a definite shortcoming.
This seems to work for other environments but not Verizon. Hopefully a solution will emerge soon. Hauppage might issue RMAs if it entails a hardware change. Overall Review: Still, I am happy with it. I use it with a home theater server I built with a e AMD processor and it doesn't seem to have any problems with it so the PC seems to be merely used to store the compressed data stream and no major horsepower is required.
Playback with the enclosed software is flawless but various opensource solutions work as well. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg.
