VDR user #910 > Any help or suggestions gratefully received. Don't use Fedora Core 4 or 5 =:-D LVDS is not supported by the Unichrome driver (the free one) or wasn't the last time I looked. Video out is limited to 1280 x 768 and VGA out -> VGA in on LCD/plasma TV is the best bet for quality. Some seem happy with s-video. When running VDR 1.3.23, vdr-xine on Fedora Core 3 you will see about 10-12% CPU with unichrome r30. Later versions are using about 14-16% CPU which is still not bad considering the hardware involved. The later version has some support for SP13000 and mpeg4 and thus HDTV eventually (it may be the better choice for the future). I have managed recording 4 streams while watching a 5th BBC channel. Get a good power supply - I am managing OK with a 60W but do not have a DVD burner in the machine (I borrow an external firewire device from time to time). It won't work if room temperature (TV cabinet) goes over 35?C. Cheers Tony
