[mythtv-users] Anyone use WinFast TV2000

[Joe Votour]

Cal,

I was, until I returned it yesterday.  I don't know if
the problems I'm having are amplified by the card or
not, but I figured I'd get it back within the 30 day
return period until I figure out what's going on.

The one thing about the card that kind of shocked me
is that the TV coax barrel connector just slides on,
and on the card I had, it was very loose.  I don't
know if that caused problems or not.

Using the card is pretty simple...  Just make sure
that when you load the bttv module that you specify
"tuner=2" if you have an NTSC card - the bttv driver
always thinks that it's tuner type 5 (Philips PAL
tuner).

To use the remote, use lirc-0.70-pre2 (snapshot), the
configuration file is there (it's the -10 file, if you
have the newer remote).  I had no problems getting
lirc working, but unfortunately I deleted my lirc
configuration file for MythTV, where I had all the
buttons mapped out.  (I spent a couple of hours
mapping buttons, and kept the config file on the
MythTV machine.  I meant to copy it to a more stable
place but didn't).  :(
