Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup

Support for this card looks complete from what I can read, but I'm
struggling to get it working. (I'm using 2.6.27-9-generic)

I've tried setting the capture card type as MPEG-2 (PVR-x50, PVR-500),
but it didn't look so good. Setting it as "DVB DTV capture card (v3.x)"
seems better in that I can pick the tuner device (0 or 1), but still no
video/tuning options. What am I missing here?

Boot messages:

Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

Hi Vance,

I am using the same card and have got it tuning..

In your mythtv backend setup:

under capture cards use the v3.x setting.

you also have to set up a video source. At first I chose EIT and I got 8 days og programme data but now I only get now and next. (something to sort out).

You can then got to input connections where you can scan for channels.

What sort of hardware are you using?

I have a Pentium (single core) 2.8Mhz with 2gb of RAM but I can not play any HD content as my COU usgae maxes out.

Cheers

Steve

As I understand it you aren't doing anything wrong - the EIT data in the DVBT
signal has been chopped down to two hours for each channel. While the DVBS data
has remained intact at a full week. Why they have chosen to do this I don't
know. Probably pressure from the Listner and TV Guide to not chop out their
market from under them.

Can you not manage to play C4, TVNZ 6 and TVNZ 7? I can manage them on my
Athlon XP 3000, which isn't too far in processor omph from your machine. But I
do have to transcode TV1, TV2, and I would transcode TV3 except the transcoder
gets the audio wrong with that...

Re: Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

Wouldn't chopping the EIT data down to two hours kinda kill the market for the Freeview HD recorders that they have started promoting (excessively)?

Re: Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

You can still download the data in an xml file like you do with analogue channels. This way you can keep your weeks worth of data for freeview terrestrial.
With the channel setup wizards I've been working on I've found how to do a few different sharing methods like using satellite EPG data for analogue channels, I haven't got much documentation for it yet but you can give the channel setup wizards a go, you can find them in the download section on mythkiwi.com

The next project is a wizard for setting up an ir blaster with sky decoder. Has anyone grabbed sky EPG data from a satellite to use for their sky channel listings on their mythbox? I know the EPG data isn't encrypted so if you have access to a sat card can't see why you can't grab the data and use it.

Re: Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

Thanks Douglas. I've worked through that page, it was pretty useful,
although some bits look a bit different. I'm not sure if this is just
because of my setup, or because kernel support, generally, has improved.
Ready for the tuning/channel side now I think.

Vance.

Re: Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

Thanks Steve - I've got an AMD64 dual core, 3GHz with 4GB RAM, and
therefore kind of hoping I've avoided any cpu constraints.

I've created a capture card entry, using DVB DTV v3.x, as you suggested,
with DVB Device number 0; and a video source using EIT. The channel
scan seems to lock onto channels, and show signal strengths etc (some at
65%, some at 2%), but the scanning window shows "Timeout Scanning - no
tables" repeatedly.

$ sudo scan nz-MyFreqs > .tzap/channels.conf

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 682000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 698000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4

initial transponder 730000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
initial transponder 762000000 0 9 9 6 2 4 4
>>> tune to:

WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0011
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0000
WARNING: filter timeout pid 0x0010
(Then the same output for the other channels too)

btw. How do I see if the EIT info as been retrieved/stored successfully?

Vance.

The EIT spec only requires Now/Next and doesn't mandate a 7 day EPG.

Here in NZ freeview decided to base their EPG on MHEG-5 which is what the
PVR's use to do their 8 day scheduling.

Re: Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

Thanks for that.

"the EIT data in the DVBT
signal has been chopped down to two hours for each channel. While the DVBS data
has remained intact at a full week."

I thought it was something I had done. Now I can stop looking for a fix for that fault.

Now to get the XML data I have tried to install epgsnoop but it didn't work at least I don't think it worked, I'll start a new thread to request help on that.

Cheers

Steve

As I understand it you aren't doing anything wrong - the EIT data in the DVBT
signal has been chopped down to two hours for each channel. While the DVBS data
has remained intact at a full week. Why they have chosen to do this I don't
know. Probably pressure from the Listner and TV Guide to not chop out their
market from under them.

Can you not manage to play C4, TVNZ 6 and TVNZ 7? I can manage them on my
Athlon XP 3000, which isn't too far in processor omph from your machine. But I
do have to transcode TV1, TV2, and I would transcode TV3 except the transcoder
gets the audio wrong with that...

Re: Haupauge Nova-T 500 setup [In reply to]

I can't play any of the channels - well I can but the frame changes once every 10 or so seconds.

doesn't work on livetv or if I record and playback after the recording is finished. I don't even have any jobs running.

I am a total newbie with Linux so maybe I have some fundamental problem with my install.

I currently have Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2 installed and I have loaded MythTV over Ubuntu. I also loaded Paul's patches which I understand are necessary to get the sound working with the NZ version of DVB-T.

From the sound of your question I should manage to watch some of the channels with my hardware as is.

I have also tried trancoding but it always ends with errors - actually never really starts.
