I tried setting up my KnoppMyth R5A30.2 to get it to work with my HD5000.

I followed the instructions provided here http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8104&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 . Everything worked fine up to the point where I can see the HD channels with azap and mplayer.

But things stoped beeing so smooth, I guees it's because TimeWarner here in Houston doesn't provide pids either.

After I ran a scan in mythtv-setup, I do get a list of DVB transports that have the corect frequencies. Ex. 549000000 Hz (0) (0) (0) - ATSC QAM256. But in the channels table the columns mplexid,serviceid are empty and freqid is channum.

So I manualy setted the fields for a couple of channels with the freqid=549000000, serviceid=1,2,3 (last field from atscscan list). As for the mplexid, I set it to the mplexid field coresponding to that interface in the dtv_multiplex table as described in the 3rd post here http://www.pchdtv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5682.

Still, it's not working.


Do you know if R5A30.2 is supposed to handle this?
Did I miss anything obvious that I had to do on the way?
Does anybody has any idea or knows pointers to how to set the mythtv SQL tables?


Any help is much appreciated.
BTW you guys did an awesome job with MythTV, KnoppMyth and the forum, thanks a lot.[/url]

I had to do some extensive editing of the database to get it to work in mine, but I'll give you some information below that might help you match everything up.

here is my channels.conf created by atscscan then edited by me to contain only the channels I want and the callsigns added in by watching the recordings created by azap enough to figure out which one was which channel.

Code:
WSMVDT:555000000:QAM_256:2048:2049:2
WKRNDT:555000000:QAM_256:2112:2113:1
WTVFDT:555000000:QAM_256:2176:2177:3
WZTVDT:555000000:QAM_256:2240:2241:4
WNABDT:555000000:QAM_256:2496:2497:9
WUXPDT:555000000:QAM_256:2752:2753:6
WGNSAT:555000000:QAM_256:2560:2561:10


and here are the corresponding database entries.

Thanks a lot for the asnswer, it helped. Now I can record with my hd5000 card.

But there are a few things to be fixed:
- the sound was choppy: so I removed ac3 passthrough
- but still for some shows it has glitches every second - I don't know how to fix that.
- up to a point the video was fine but after playing with it, the screen is blue
but in the preview window it works fine
- and the last one: I can't get to see LiveTV on the digital channels, I can cicle only through the analog channels from my other card (Hauppage Win-FM).

Can you give me any hints?
Thanks.

have you tried extra audio buffering?
Not sure about the blue
to get to it on livetv hit C which is the command to switch tuners.

Gotta ask the dumb question, did you hit 'C' or 'Y' (can't remember which it is) to switch tuners? Live TV won't let you go to another tuner card with the up/down channel. That's supposedly 'fixed' in a forthcoming version of Myth.

I tried everything for the blue screen but didn't work, the only way to get rid of it was to reinstall mythtv from scratch.
Now, LiveTV works, thanks for the answers, I didn't know about the 'C' command.

The sound is still choppy, more precisely I can hear the same thing twice every seccond, but only on some channels. I tried enabling extra audio buffering, it doesn't help.

Can it be because of 5.1 transmitions? Or the audio driver (I have a SB Live card)? Is there any way I can check?

I solved the sound problem by leaving the audio uncompresed, everything seems to work quite well now. Thanks a lot for the replies.

Fx, what do you mean by leaving the audio uncompressed? Where do I find that setting so I can change it?

Thanks

When you set-up your encodings and transcodings, leave the sound uncompresed.
