1) Change to your home directory:
Code:
cd ~/

2) use wget to download the file from the website:
Code:
wget http://CHANGE.COM/THIS/TO/THE/CORRECT/URL

Hi,
Why not just upgrade to cesman's new release? It should work fine and a lot less grief.

I have a simular box,
CPU0: Intel Pentium III (Coppermine) stepping 01
Detected 697.082 MHz processor.
Memory: 253780k/262144k available
works with pvr 150 or pvr 350

Hi bearair,

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you were trying to make a working box.

I have my main "production box" and then I play on other stuff to see what works / don't work.

To learn is good!

Hi bearair,

Why the v4l? You indicate that you have a pvr-150 which falls under the other pvr-x50's. I had plug and play with both 150 & 350 including the remote. I haven't messed with tv out on the 350 using the A26 as the days are to darn short...

There are a couple of tweaks I do after, however cross those as they come up. Just watch the cache size, go one less than df -h and you should have no issue.

This has been one of the cleanest and easiest installs that Cecil, Dale & team have released. That goes for upgrade and install. Does get a little messy going from A22.

It is so lean and mean that I can also enjoy HD using an AMD 1.5ghz processor. Just need to figure out how to make DVI work now and a printer.

Mike

Yes. At least if this is a Hauppauge PVR-150 and not some oddball card with the same name.

No need for a jumper with a PVR card, the MPEG encoder includes the sound from the tuner (or other inputs) in the MPEG stream. Go read the section on TV cards here: http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php?page=PickingComponents

Young bear, you *REALLY* need to learn how to start catching your own salmon. While we're glad to teach you how to fish, this catching fish for you thing is wearing thin.

Search for mythtv-setup in the forums here and on the wiki.
