Talk:Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500 PCI

From MythTV

Regarding the "Warning about the "Diversity" model":

It is claimed that the Diversity card is only sold in the UK. This is not the case, I have just bought a WinTV Nova-T 500 here in Denmark, and unfortunately it is the Diversity variant. It has the same model number, and the sticker on the card clearly writes TD version, as described in this article. It does not look exactly like the photo, but does has the two antenna input.

The 'diversity' model is sold in New Zealand. The remote looks different to the one pictured Holloway 09:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Another addendum: When trying to view a station that's currently off-air MythTV locks solid. Location is UK, OS is Gutsy. The expected behaviour as seen on other kit is that an informational message should be displayed. Using top on an alternative console I've found that the Myth backend was chewing up the CPU. Even when I brought it back to runlevel 2 the USB system was still out of action - it wouldn't recognize a USB stick until I rebooted. There's clearly a problem somewhere but is it driver, firmware or the backend? Ian
