http://ubuntuforums.org – I'm totally new to MythTV and DIY PVR systems, but comfortable with Linux (not an expert). I have a fresh installation of Mythbuntu 12.04.1 (32-bit) and I just installed my Hauppauge WinTV HVR-2250 TV tuner card into the computer. How do I get it detected and set up in MythTV? P.S. - This machine will serve as a backend for the XBMC clients I have set up throughout my house. (Hardware)

XBMC / MythTV / Remotes 33 weeks 1 hour ago

I am going to describe my current architecture and then explain what my potential problem is at the end.

I have a dedicated MythTV backend running Mythbuntu 12.04 with MythTV 0.25-fixes. I currently only have one HD-PVR connected to a Dish VIP211k HD receiver. I have 3 frontends all running Mythbuntu 12.04 & MythTV 0.25-fixes.

I tried to solve this with a fresh install of Mythbuntu 12.04, (with Mythtv 0.25), but no luck, so here goes the problem.

I have an esata drive that is mounted at boot to /media/stuff

All other programs can access it without question - xbmc etc.

When I set this as the place for MythTv to record, it accepts it (you know when you get it wrong cause it tells you when you exit that it can't f

Has anyone figured out how to enable composite input from the Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1950? I have TV input working okay with MythTV (took some doing but I got it going). Likewise, has anyone gotten the FM Radio part working? If so, please give me some pointers in the right direction. I would appreciate it. I like being able to stay in my Fedora 17 environment to use it.

I installed this tuner and followed the procedures here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Ha...WinTV-HVR-2200

When trying to set up the tuner in MythTV backend the card was not being recognised.I was getting this output from demsg | grep saa :

Hi all,

This is my first post, so be gentle. I've been working on setting up a HTPC with mythbuntu. I just installed mythbuntu 12.04 with Mythtv 0.25.

My remote is a Vista MCE made by Ortek (I followed these instructions to get it functioning properly, and everything looks great. The only problem is that I can't seem to control the Xfce desktop with the remote.

After the heavy hitters from Canonical, it's time for Mythbuntu 12.04.2 LTS to be officially released.

Mythbuntu is a community supported add-on for Ubuntu focused upon setting up a standalone MythTV-based PVR system, which can be used to prepare a standalone system or to integrate it with an existing MythTV network.

Highlights of Mythbuntu 12.04.2:

I have a mythtv box with 2 pvr-150s to record from 2 SD quality stb's. Ive had this arrangement for years and have really enjoyed it. Now its time to upgrade though. So, Iam considering the possibilities and have run across two possible cards to switch too.
