Olympics! - Page 6

I'll be 42. I won't panic. Much.

Semi on-topic rant... My attempt to record the Olympics was somewhat mixed yesterday. I have a Nebula card and a dual tuner Hauppauge stick (got off eBay as a spare thanks to Nebula Electronics going down the pan).

Knowing that the BBC uses just two Freeview Muxes, my intention was to dedicate the Hauppauge stick to recording those, leaving the Neb free for casual TV watching. Oh no - can't do that. Stupid Hauppauge software won't let me, so I conscript the Neb to take care of one Mux with the Hauppauge doing the other. Even that didn't work out as while the Neb recorded flawlessly, the Hauppauge software kept collapsing. :/ :/ :/

So, I went and got MediaPortal. Something I've been meaning to do for a while but avoided due to the convoluted install I had to do last time. Thankfully they've fixed all that now. Mediaportal can deal with both Muxes using just the Hauppauge stick, so I've got the Neb back. We'll see how this works out.

If they work out the bugs, I might switch to MediaPortal full-time (including the Neb) and dump the mostly reliable but old Nebula software.

That was a good ride.. nice and close to the line. What a way to start our medals!

What an evil course & conditions though!
