Hi,
I built a new box ( Celeron D 2.93, 128K L2 cache, 512MB memory),a nvidia 5200 FX with DVI output graphics card and Dvico Fusion5 RT Lite card and got things working ( took some time searching forums for an adequate modeline for a Sony WEGA 42" DLP TV, using DVI->HDMI cable)
My MOBO has a VIA chipset on it.
Turns out knoppmyth did recognize most of my hardware (took me a while to learn to set the DVICO card as 'DVB'). I still have not figured out
how to get the analog cards with it.
A couple of comments/questions
1- I notice several seconds (about 10) delay when switching channels.
Also, ocasionally I get a 'jerky' picture (like it was at a very slow frame rate). Any tips on how to get rid of this delay?
2- I did populated the database using a net connection, but the box curently has no net access. I get most ATSC digital channels in my area, except the one I build the box for
(The world cup is nearly starting and
I'd like to get the spanish KAKW near Austin, TX where I live). I get that
channel directly on my TV tuner. Could it be multipath issues with the DVICO? Or my database not being properly populated?
3- Watching DVD's - Going on the dialog to 'optical disks' it only plays the
FBI warning about not copying DVDs and thinks it is done. I even tried
to 'rip' the DVD to watch, but I get a message, something like 'no tasks scheduled or nothing to do'
3- Also on DVD's and regional lock: is there a way of disabling the region lock to watch DVD's from other regions?
thanks!
