Hi everyone. I
just started exploring MythTV so please bear with me if I ask a question that
has already been answered. I've tried Googling and reading as much as I
can but my eyes are starting to bleed!
Is it possible to
have MythTV record to a raw .TS file instead of its native .nuv format?
What is the difference between these two file formats? My goal is to
archive shows on a permanent basis and I would prefer to get either a raw .TS or
a pure MPEG-2 from the transport stream.
Also I'm checking
the option on the video input to save as .ts instead of .ps. What does
this actually do?
My second question
is a setup question. I've been struggling with getting the Linux system
stable and to get my 2 pcHDTV HD-3000 cards working. Took me a while but
those seem to be working fine. When it came to installing MythTV the
online docs were pretty good, except for the part where you add
channels.
Initially I signed
up for Zap2It and performed a mythfilldatabase as the manual instructed.
However I was never able to get any channels to tune. A few days later I
figured out that I can do an ATSC tune and I was able to see all my local OTA
channels. At this point however, I had a disconnect between the guide
information and some tunable channels. The guide couldn't tune, and the
tuneable channels had no guide! Tonight I tried taking the XMLTVIDs from
the Zap2It guide. I purged the database and started with a clean
one. I then scanned my OTA channels. After scanning I manually set
the XMLTVID values for each of my channels. Is this the way it works or am
I missing something fundamental here?
Been having fun
trying to get this working!
Andy
