Most folks buy their TV's at places like Sears or Best Buy, and there's a lot to be said for plunking your credit card down and driving home with a functional television set. But that's not my style. I've been using a Commodore 64 color monitor hooked up to a VCR since the late 80's and it's worked great. On the other hand, VCR's are going the way of the dodo and a 13" television with weak mono sound isn't much fun so I should probably upgrade. |
| I'm not sure what the real fix is, but changing my mythtv recording profiles to record at 44.1kHz seems to work fine so I'll use that frequency from now on.
2004-06-01 - things were humming along fine until one day I noticed that I wasn't getting any TV listing data. Turns out the web site that xmltv was screen-scraping from (http://labs.zap2it.com/) changed their format, but also added a web services interface to get the TV data. So I decided that rather than wait for packages I'd pull the source from CVS and build it. Not a bad process overall. I had been running the same version for a while and this version appears to be more stable than what I had. |

2004-06-21 - I upgraded the server from Linux 2.4 to 2.6 and found that I had the same problems with sound that I had before (see 2003-09-19). It seems that the magic kernel parameter has changed for 2.6, see http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2003-November/020414.html.

2.6 is overall a big improvement over 2.4, live TV "skips" less (almost never now) than it used to. |
