R5A30.2 Auto Install Install went fairly well. I have also had R5A16, R5A22, and R5A26 on this machine. All clean installs. Hardware Specs: Athlon XP1800 SOLTEK SL-75DRV5 Socket A (Socket 462) VIA KT333 ATX AMD Motherboard Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 266 (PC 2100) Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y080L0 80GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Hard Drive nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 AGP Integraded VIA Technologies, AC97 Audio Controller Generic 300w PS Generic 3.5" diskette drive CDRW 24X10X40|SONY CRX175 Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Deluxe tuner NTSC Svideo TV output to Sony 27" Trinitron TV The TV card is a VL4 software based card so quality isn't that great and recording size is large at 4GB an hour. Channels 2-6 are poorer quality than other channels with lines moving though picture. I switched connectors and cable same results. I plan to move the TV card as far away from video card and PS as possible as they may be interfering with signal. I have also messed with using MPEG4 recording profiles to reduce the recording to 1GB an hour. Winfast TV200XP Deluxe Tuner http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ...

Walked the owner of this hardware though uprade from R5A30.2 to R5D1, went pretty smooth. Had to replace the XF86Config-4 file with file backed up prior to upgrade R5D1 Winfast TV200XP Deluxe Tuner Instructions above worked Setup VNC x11 Administration Instructions above worked Didn't try the other above extra stuff as wasn't using often or in case of XFE has known issue with R5D1. Was told by owner of this box that R5D1 gives better image quality than R5A30.2. |

BTW - If you run into a problem with video playback, doublecheck the path to mplayer under the video setup screens. I discovered over the weekend that mine had a really old, and no longer correct, value... |

Owner was having problems with locking playing video from MythVideo. Walked though a fresh install of R5F27. Overall went well, the Leadtek remote is no longer working but I think this is related to lirc_gpio bttv change in the kernel. Plan on rerunning irrecord using /dev/input/event1 device. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7660?pagenum=11 http://daniel.saunders.googlepages.com/ ... WithMythTV https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/125384 Will post full results when resolved. |
