For some reason I'm really struggling with this and would really appreciate any pointers from those of you out there who have this working successfully.<div><br></div><div>My setup is an 'in the cupboard under the stairs' backend with two DVB-S2 HD cards and 2 LNB feeds. In the lounge I have a digibox with a separate LNB feed and an Acer Revo Myth frontend mounted on the back of the TV.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In addition to watching SD and HD recordings (and occasionally LiveTV) via the myth frontend I would like to be able to access more channels by capturing the (SD) video output of the digibox, but so far all my attempts have been less than satisfactory.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Prior to me relocating my backend 'out of the way' it too used to live just behind the TV, and I have previously fitted a Hauppauge HVR-1300 (combined DVB-T, FM Radio and video capture) PCI card into the backend and linked it to the digibox, but all I ever managed to capture from it has been a mixture of lousy quality black-and-white video and out-of-sync audio. Compared to watching the digibox output via the normal SCART connection I have also been seeing huge delays. I've no reason to believe that the capture card is faulty, but I just can't get it to work! I also don't have a DVB-T aerial so I can't test that side of the card either.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't have a huge amount of time or money to spend on this and would really like a solution that would 'just work' with minimal effort. Given the present locations of my kit I would also prefer a video capture solution that I can use on the Revo, even if it means adding a new USB(?) video capture device and rebuilding it as a combined frontend & secondary backend. For versatility I would also like to have the ability for Myth to change channels on the digibox as necessary; I'm currently using a USB IR receiver on the Revo frontend with a separate plug-in 'blaster' (but have never used the 'blaster' side of it yet).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any suggestions of working setups or hardware much appreciated!</div><div><br></div><div>George</div><div><br></div>
