Advice Needed Tbs6925 and Linux

[Archive-8]

Can any one recommend a Linux version that I can use so it's like media centre or like vu/dreambox.

I have read about a project installing open pli enigma 2 on umbuntu has anyone else tryed this.

I am want to run my tbs 6925 card.

OpenELEC seems popular but I have never used it. If I had a tbs card I would try to get MythTV working with it.

What are the current options for blindscanning and spectrum read out on Linux OS's?

I have downloaded mythbutu, and I will give it a try :-)

Latest is updatedvb, which uses the v4l-updatelee repository. Instructions here -

Stv090x-scan is the name of the older version, which I'm still using in Linux Mint for blindscanning and spectrum sweep. That works well with a TBS6925, or in my case my Skystar Xpress HD card.

Actually, I've never used MythTV either. A friend of mine runs it and loves it but beware that it might be very slow in switching channels: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Frequent..._and_the_time_the_channel_actually_changes.3F
I would probably find it annoying in the long run. If the aim is to be feed hunting, then this might not have been such a great advise. Sorry if I've mislead you.

I see that the forum user @bema is running Tvheadend. I wonder how he likes it?

Got updateDVB working now on Linux Mint 17 after some messing about with QT compiler, UpdateDVB.pro was pointing to wrong include paths and libs

Skystar eXpress HD2 works better in Linux than Windoze, no artifacts.

My pc bios is not allowing me to duel boot I was told myth tv works really well.

Nice job with Linux ;)

Are you being thwarted by UEFI Safeboot?

Easily resolved. Much info on Interweb.

Yeah that's the one. The bios is not as easy as the old ones. It was a windows 8.1 but I hated it so I put windows 7 on it and it flys now.
