Capture cards

The initial capture cards page will list all (already configured?) cards in this backend. 

Choose ``New Capture Card'' to begin and add your tuner(s).

If you need to reset the order of the tuners recognized, you can either delete these capture cards, or all capture cards in the mythtv network from this screen

When choosing a capture source, it's important to choose the correct type.

A very common error is when choosing the Hauppauge PVR Cards. There is an option for MPEG-2 Encoder Card (PVR-X50, PVR-500) as well as for standard V4L card. Be sure to choose the MPEG-2 encoder option here if you use a Hauppauge card.

Each of the different types of sources has several options available to it.

If you are confused about any of the options, see the mythtv documentation, mailing list, MythTV wiki http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Video_capture_card, or LinuxTV wiki http://linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/.

If you are configuring a firewire connection, settings can be found on the MythTV Firewire Page
