Hi, I'm a long-time linux user (since the early 1990s, pre-1.0), but absolutely brand spanking new to mythtv and digital TV cards. I have a new PC set up with the latest mythbuntu (beta 8.04, due out in a few weeks). I've been trying to get a Nova-T 500 to work reliably without much luck. The card (as noted now on the wiki -- unfortunately not when I bought it) has serious problems with the new Linux kernel. I can't get it to work for more than a few hours at a time, and the remote is even worse. I'm in London, with a strong signal (and a booster too), so I don't think that's the problem. The PC connected to the main TV is a backend/frontend, so periodically restarting the backend doesn't fix the remote control problem (you have to log out and log back in again, which is too painful for what should be as simple to use for the wife and kids as sky+...) I've pulled the latest driver sources, followed all the instructions on the various wiki pages, have the latest firmware, etc., but I'm ready to give up. I'm going to try an MCE remote, which by all reports seems well supported in Linux, and I'm ready to try a new DVB card(s). Dual-tuner is preferred, but I can also just install two. Can anyone recommend a DVB card that they know works reliably with hardy heron (ubuntu 8.04) and/or the 2.6.24 kernel, something that's available now down at PC World or on amazon.co.uk? Thanks much in advance. -Eamonn _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
