Oh and I did read the manual pages, it didn't mention much about invalid arguements and random words and a bunch of (null)s being spewed out at me, therefore I asked. Reading the posts properly before responding helps you seem more intelligent. |
a word of warning... tvtime looks nice, but will probably use between 15 and 25 percent of your CPU constantly.
xawtv will average cpu usage at around 0.5% typically. not a particularly hard choice for me.... |
yeah, i noticed it was quite heavy in Mandrake so I used KDETV...but for some reason it seems to run nicer in Ubuntu. Lol, sometimes with computers when they do stupid things I just don't ask questions and just go along with it.

wintv non bttv card...
I have a wintv hvr 1600... one of the cards that will not work with mythtv, tvtime, or most of the other tv tuner software... sooo here is a quick script i wrote to allow you to watch tv with vlc. i have my dish network with my ubuntu system connected through the tuner 2 connection set to channel 73. just copy and past the following into a file and make it executable "chmod +x file" and then make a launcher on your desktop which points to that file... if you want to add more channels you can use
dvb-apps or iptv-utils to scan for channels and add them to a playlist in vlc. but this works for my needs. NOTE: my tv tuner is video0 you may be video1 or some else all together. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash #Disable mute if enabled v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --set-audio-input=0 #set channel to 73 ivtv-tune -c73 #launch VLC in PVR stream vlc pvr:///dev/video0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
