Hi,
I've been trying to get my new barebone to show me DVB-T transmissions. I purchased a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T 500 dual DVB-T tuner card and was hoping I could place the HTPC into my living room. I got all needed Sw installed (list below) and starting to give it a first try. I had been testing the setup on other PC before so everything was quite easy.
Actually the only difference was installing of fglrx.
The list of SW is here:
* BIOS 0601 (18-Jan-2008)
* Fedora Core 7 + all updates available from official repositorys
* LIRC
* latest v4l-dvb-5c2c02dd1bb0 to enable remote control on the DVB-T card
* XineLib 1.1.10.1 + lots of codecs
* VDR 1.4.7 + xineliboutput, skinsoppalusikka, subtitles plugins
The HW I have:
ASUS P2-M2A690G (IGP X1250)
AMD Athlon X2 BE-2350 2.1GHz
Maxtor 320GB HDD
1G Kinston 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I got all the preparations made, channels tuned etc. and when I started the system with following command, I only got a not-scaled image which seems to be similar when TV set has lost line sync. It was not as random as in line-sync-missing case, but there was no reasonable picture.
The command used was:
vdr --video=/dvb_recorder --config=/etc/vdr -Pskinsoppalusikka -Psubtitles -P"xineliboutput --local=sxfe --video=xv --audio=alsa --remote=none"
As I said the scaling was not done at all, even it was set to be scaled.
I tried also other video outputs, like xshm, which gave me the best result (it was in no means good). All other options either didn't give any video at all or same as xv or hang the PC completely.
I also tried Mplayer which showed me the video but it seemed to me that HW acceleration was not used at all.
Here is the output of Mplayer with Xv:

I have set videooverlay with aticonfig as said in some other post, but I coudn't find any place to do the TexturedVideo setting.
I also checked Xorg log there is no errors. Xorg.conf is the one generated with 'aticonfig --initial'.
I have been surfing around quite a while now and finally this forum seemed the right place for describing my problem and getting some help.
