Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John
Hi,
I am re-working our TV to HDTV currently and trying to decide on a DVR.
Currently I use Charter's DVR and not impressed with their DVR layout/features.
Currently I am looking at either the DirectTV whole house DVR option
or building a Myth DVR box(s).
Not sure I want to bite off the Myth though due to needing 2 machines,
tuner card, and chunks of my time (vs turnkey for an "appliance").
I have read the docs at MythTV website but am asking current Myth users:
1) Others are running for Myth hardware (front and back end specs)
2) Any estimates on install startup hours and monthly maintenance hours.
3) Any tips for a quick & smooth Myth install in late 2011
My current plans include a video source of HD via satellite from Dish
or DirectTV and am leaning towards a Samsung 55" LCD/LED set.
I got the impression around three years ago that Myth was a "techie
time intensive" thing to setup and run.
I could be all wet on that impression or it may have changed.
Thank you,
Joel
The problem with your attempts to help may be
in that my Fedora is soooo old. It is Fedora 4. This
second disk has/had? Fedora 6, but it never worked
correctly.
Here is the result of grep'ng all of /var/log/dmesg
[root@pacman graphics]# more /var/log/dmesg | grep hdb

I do not understand what the above is saying.
----------------------
/var/log/messages has no references to hdb
[root@pacman graphics]# ls -l /var/log/messages

I tried...
[root@pacman graphics]# vgchange -a y
2 logical volume(s) in volume group "VolGroup00" now active

I do not want SELinux, It is just there. I'll try to eliminate it.

Here's what mount has to say:
[root@pacman kjones]# mount -l -t ext3
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) [/boot]
/dev/hdb1 on /mnt/HDB1 type ext3 (rw) [/boot]
/dev/hdb2 on /mnt/HDB2 type ext3 (rw) <====
[root@pacman kjones]#
---------------------------------
Here's what is in dmesg.
[root@pacman graphics]# ls -l /var/log/dmesg
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11691 Sep 15 22:26 /var/log/dmesg
[root@pacman graphics]# tail /var/log/dmesg

I have no idea what dmesg is talking about. The data seems to
match the 'mount' statement and yesterday's date, Sept 15th.
Thanks everyone!!

Sorry for the late reminder. Please join us tonight for a talk about
IPv6!

Thanks to all for the ideas and comments.
Not sure I will be happy spending time on a custom DVR and not sure I
will be happy with a canned solution.
I now have food for thought,
Joel
Hi folks,
Our next WLUG meeting is Wednesday, September 14 at 7:00 PM at the WPI
campus in Worcester, MA USA. The meeting room is in WPI's Morgan Hall
(building 'H' on the campus map [1]), down the hallway to the right of
the dining hall entrance.

This month, I'll be giving a talk on Internet Protocol Version 6,
including basics of how it works, how to configure it on various
systems, and various issues & benefits to using IPv6.
After the meeting, we'll go out for pizza.
See you all there,
Chuck
