ubuntu/mythbuntu and flow digital cable

**majoridiot** · August 12th, 2011

wondering if anyone in the community has experience with recording flow digital cable channels using mythbuntu or
any other software...

my analog tuners are useless now that flow has gone digital and i would like to replace them with digital tuners,
assuming there are ones compatible with the cable system. would appreciate any advice and/or recommendations
of suitable tuners, so i can go back to recording weekly tv programs.

thanks!

Does that you mean you finally settled down here in trinidad, i cant think of anything to help at the moment i would like to you invite you to a ubuntu hour thought, we are presently looking at either the 20th or 27th, what do you think

have been here since february and will not be leaving any time soon... in the process of establishing residency.

where is the "ubuntu hour" set to take place? i'm living in chaguanas (charlieville). not sure if i can make it this month...
heavy pressure to deliver a script rewrite and time is tight for the next few weeks.

real hoping to get some info on recording from flow. trying to avoid spending a lot of money playing hit-or miss
buying tuners that will not work. also trying to avoid having to get a second or third cable box from flow to be
able to record with mythtv.

About the mythubuntu i found this http://www.mythtvtalk.com/mythtv-dig...le-boxes-7064/ which is saying that you need to use the cable box that comes from flow, does that help i have not tried mythubuntu as yet. Also my friend who works there has seen this for the first time now
