Difference: LaborIntensiveTv (7 vs. 8)

Revision 813 Sep 2003 - TobyCabot

Line: 1 to 1

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.

Line: 30 to 30

2003-09-05 - I've switched over to RCN and signed up for cable tv and made a little more progress. The display problem above must be an X Windows configuration problem because I can run xawtv on the server but display it on my diskless workstation and the picture is fine (although not the most crisp since it's going over the network). It's pretty cool to see that X can stream TV over the network.

> 2003-09-13 - Got sound and video working on the server. No real problems - I used the debian kernel, alsa, and bttv packages.
