S-Video analog Capture.

S-Video analog Capture.

[Mark Jenks]

I have been trying to get my 2 HVR-1800's to work with my time-warner cable
box without much success at all.

Good thing I bought 2 of these, since they are exactly what I needed, and
can't use them at all except OTA, since there are lots of problem with the
analog input of these.

I am looking for a good analog capture card that can get S-video and maybe
audio from my TW box, so that I can use them in Mythtv.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what cards have analog S-video support?

Thanks!

-Mark

I currently use a Hauppauge PVR-150 to capture from my 
DCT-2524 (Comcast).  There's a nice channel change script 
to talk to the DCT-2524.  You could also use a PVR-250.
Don't know about how many SVideo inputs the PVR-500 has.

The myth website has a page on supported cards:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Video_capture_cards

I use a PVR 150 with a digital set top box connected to the S-video input 
and it works fine.

If you need a USB device the Pinnacle Dazzle works fine with the em28xx 
module. I just connected one of these to a DVD player with S-video:

Mark,

The HVR-1600 has working capture for analog and digital in PCI. Do you
need PCIe?

No, I don't need PCI, PCIe is just what I had room for and bought it.   The
Backend is sitting in a media closet, so it's a fullsize case. ;)

So, with the 1600, Svideo in, w/ Audio interleaved in mpg format, you say it
works?

Can anyone verify this, before I go out and purchase this, or a PVR-250.

I run three of them using DCT700 set top boxes on Verizon FiOS. (Note:
I use CommandIR II for control) via svideo and r/l minijack inputs.
This is in SageTV though, if that matters.

No, that does not matter, as long as you can catch a mpeg stream, it should
work just fine.   I already have 1394 channel changing working without a
hitch.

Time to hunt out a 1600.

Mark,

Just to manage expectations, you may want to read the ivtv-users and
ivtv-driver mailing list archive for the past month or so.  Some users
have absolutely no problems.  Others have noticed some audio or video
playback annoyances with analog captures (which I am working to get
resolved).

Personally, I like my HVR-1600's and don't have problems with analog and
digital tuner captures.  I don't use S-Video or CVBS composite
regularly.  You will need to do buffered playback, which MythTV does
always, and mplayer does when you use the '-cache 8192' commandline
option.  (I'm hoping to resolve the need for that too.)

NewEgg or e-Bay. :)

Andy

Anything is better than a 1800 that I can get no support on for Analog,
other than someone always saying "It works for me".   I just picked one up
on Newegg for $79 w/ free shipping.  Hopefully it gets here soon.
