| [16:33:43] | Sabotender: | mack: I have that hauppauge dual tuner but it had a bad habit of stop working suddenly losing signal, and Wintv crashing excessively, which is why I wanted to try a different USB tuner. so I got the mygica thing but driver issue, lol. Ill bet it would be brilliant otherwise |
| [16:34:53] | mack: | I honestly try to avoid USB for things like this. Lots of people have successful results, though. |
| [16:37:23] | Sabotender: | hmm this homerunner...it uses ethernet to connect to set top box? |
| [16:41:07] | mack: | ethernet to connect to your network that your myth box is on. |
| [16:53:32] | GWG: | Anyone had any luck with ATSC3 and mythtv by the way? |
| [16:54:23] | Sabotender: | hmmm that 4 tuner 4k thing is about 200 USD. |
| [16:55:42] | Sabotender: | Id need to read lots of reviews before I even consider purchasing that thing, though the features seem promising |
| [16:55:53] | GWG: | If you don't need atsc3, you can get the cheaper models |
| [16:56:05] | GWG: | And atsc3 support is supposedly not all there yet |
| [16:57:31] | Sabotender: | yeah, but the multi tuner and 4k is what is catching my interest. I would need something that is stable, and won't putter out like my hauppauge usb dual tuner. |
| [17:00:05] | GWG: | I'd like to upgrade someday to the 4k atsc3 tuner... maybe there will be a sale |
| [17:28:42] | Sabotender: | mack: okay, you've convinced me. I will purchase a refurbished unit, direct from Silicondust. The one that I mentioned. Hopefully, this will solve my problems, and my frustration, and will work with Mythtv. 😛 |
| [17:29:17] | GWG: | Are the refurb units cheaper? |
| [17:29:39] | Sabotender: | sure are, on ebay. |
| [17:30:15] | GWG: | I meant did you notice they were |
| [17:30:16] | mack: | There is a little issue with myth and that HDHR Flex. Myth can't distinguish the ATSC 1 and ATSC 3 tuners. |
| [17:30:20] | GWG: | I'll go look |
| [17:30:45] | mack: | https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&am . . . rt=15#p21670 |
| [17:31:14] | GWG: | Hmm.. look at how many people want to dump their prime |
| [17:32:12] | mack: | also https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Silicondust_HDHomeRun &mdash ; see ATSC 3.0 section |
| [17:32:20] | GWG: | FiOS will force me to give up my cable card eventually |
| [17:33:15] | Sabotender: | hehe what do you mean? I would not feel too comfortable purchasing a refurbished unit from a possible dodgy merchant. But, since it's coming direct from the manufacturer, I will give it a go. |
| [17:34:36] | GWG: | Price isn't discounted enough for me to go refurb |
| [17:35:17] | Sabotender: | mack so Mythtv can only detect two simultaneous tuners? |
| [17:35:34] | GWG: | The bigger issue with atsc3 is encryption |
| [17:36:41] | Sabotender: | oh, well, you would have to consider how long something like this would pay for itself compared if you were paying for a cable television subscription. Mine will be paid off in about three months. |
| [17:36:45] | mack: | It's an issue with how ATSC works and how myth has coded things to work (with atsc 1). Work is in progress. |
| [17:37:10] | mack: | in that forum thread there is an explanation and work around. |
| [17:37:53] | mack: | it looks like a slight pain in the butt, though :) |
| [17:37:54] | Sabotender: | ooh, I can deal with works in progress, I really do appreciate this tip on compatible hardware. |
| [18:27:26] | Sabotender: | I just hope that you don't mind if I poke you a bit getting it set up when it arrives. I have not had the opportunity to actually use MythTV, but anxious to get it going. 😅 |
