I have just upgraded Ubuntu to 9.04 and had to re-install Me-Tv , it all works , but with fewer channels ( half) . To retune you only had to delete the “channel.conf file , but that doesn’t seem to excist any more . How do I re-tune?

I have just installed me-tv with a winfast hd card, and it seems to be working well. The main issue I have is that recordings end up being huge files, far greater than any ripped movies for example. Is there any way to reduce the resolution to reduce the file sizes ? Or are there other formats I could use ?

Also, a channel changing button or list on the front would be nice.

have just tried Ubuntu 8.04 live CD I found that Sheffield worked ok for Belmont. having figured that out (i just tried until i found 1 that worked) MeTv worked fine. i have a HVR1300 which worked without any fuss as the tuner. at the time i was unable to download codecs and ATI graphics driver so i was unable to play back under Ubuntu, when i reverted to XP (using VLC which i was unable to instal on Ubuntu) file playback was not smooth and quality was lower than recordings made when using XP. that said MeTv worked better than the supplied Hauppauge software (i normaly have to use Ulead Video Studio to get a reliable recording). back to transponders, under windowz (hauppauge/ulesd) never asks for transponder info just country so maybe there is a improvement do-able here. MeTv is a great work so far and i look forward to the next update.

I have a Miglia TVMicro - I think it's like an early EyeTV hybrid. I haven't been successful finding ubuntu drivers for it.

Can anyone recommend a good ubuntu compatible tv tuner card?

Hi David,

Was just wondering what TV Tuner(s) you were using on your machine. I'm looking for a good TV Card to use with freeview.

Thanks

I found this site and i was kinda excited about it. but not sure about how to install the me tv. I have the old EyetV 200 and am still using the original Eyetv Software at 1.8.6. They want me to pay for the new version, but really with old hardware, what's the purpose? (it supports only analog tv).

I have a G5 Dual processor 2.7 GHz OS X10.4.11, and i'm just not sure where to start. If you could e-mail me on how to install Me TV, i'd greatly appreciate it.

I may be mistaken, but I don’t think there are Linux drivers for EyeTV devices. If there is, you’ll need to make sure you have them installed.

Hi, when I start me-tv, I only get an error: “No Tuner Device”. I’ve got EyeTV Hybrid. Are there anything else I have to do?
