I returned it and got myself the Hauppauge WinTv HVR-950 instead. I hear it works with Mythtv which is a bonus and the author who created Mythtv designed it with a Hauppauge card that he owns himself as well, a PCI of course. But the USB versions should work nicely as well seeing as they're pretty compatible in manufacturing.

Yeah according to the Wiki List, it's only partially compatible with some Tv packages but not Mythtv. Mythtv is the best one anyways. Rolling Eyes

Well Lazi, I got video but I can't seem to get any sound. Same problem I had with the Pinnacle. What's up with that? There's got to be a way. I can't believe that there isn't a solution to this. Yes I have read the forums and the docs and not found too much on this at the moment. Rolling Eyes

Ok Lazi, after hours and hours of googling and reading I finally came across a solution. It's not the best one in the least, but for the time being it will do for now. This is what they said I should do:

sox -r 48000 -w -c 2 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp1 -t ossdsp /dev/dsp

Yes it gives me sound but it also gives me a 2 second lag as well. I created a launcher so I wouldn't have to type it everytime in the terminal. If you know a better way around it, please let me know. Thanks. Smile

Hey Lazi, I have a problem with Mplayer. I cannot change the size of the movie even if I specify "Aspect Ratio - 4:3". It's still widescreen. Do you know how to make it full screen like you see on tv?

I found out what the scale is. I looked in Media Player Classic v6.4 by Gabest and it says that full screen video for tv mode is 16:9. That's what I use in that program. So my question is can Mplayer do 16:9? If so, how would you set it up in the config or can you do it in the settings of the program itself?
