I recently swapped out my old home cinema audio system (a Yamaha DSP-E800 and a Denon stereo receiver) connected via USB DAC and 6 channel analog for an Onkyo TX-SR605 which has HDMI audio connections. In most ways this was an instant upgrade but one issue really frustrated me — volume…

保持你的HTPC时钟同步
I’ve had a long-standing issue with my HTPC 它失去了一两分钟,每一天。如果我把它打开就结束周, with only standby utilised, I find that it starts missing the start or end of 电视 programmes due to having the wrong time. I’ve tried modifying the windows time service settings to make it update regularly, but this hasn’t worked. Thanks to an article on LifeHacker I recently stumbled upon I’ve now had an accurate clock for a couple of weeks.… 阅读全文

如何将文件刻录到标准的DVD视频
As I’ve documented well on this blog I run all my 电视 through a server and Windows Media Center. Occasionally I want to archive some recorded 电视 to DVD. 不 DVD 的数据文件, but a standards-compliant video DVD that will play in set top players. This isn’t always straight forward as proper DVD光盘 have to conform to various standards, including being encoded in MPEG2 and having a PAL or NTSC resolution (480p或576P). Most of what I have recorded is 1080p and I also have some 720p, 而且大部分采用H.264编码. So turning these files into a standard DVD video means both recoding and resizing the videos.… 阅读全文

TheHTPC.net — Down for the count? No
Sad news — for the last few days TheHTPC.net has been showing a Server 500 error. Now the owner (another Jon) has put up a message saying the site is broken and he may not be able to find time to fix it. I for one am very much hoping to see TheHTPC.net back in the near future. If that is not to be then I hope we will be able to source and provide a mirror of some of the outstanding resources that were previously available there. RIP.

MC-TVConverter: 一种替代MCEBuddy?
I’ve been following the development of MCEBuddy for a while now, as it was the only free way to transcode WTV files to a more compatible format. It is still in Beta however, 而同时它的工作原理有 2 downsides to my mind. It transcodes the video which means an inevitable loss of quality, and this also means it takes a long time to transcode each recording. Around 4 hours for a 1Hr BBC HD recording on my Sempron LE-1100 server.… 阅读全文

从数码士PVR 9200T的文件复制到电脑
我自己的几个数码士PVT-9200T双Freeview频道的个人录像机, both of which are now quite full with recorded programs. Humax have provided a program called eLinker, but it isn’t very good. A good alternative is Humax Media Controller but unfortunately it doesn’t work with Windows x64, 如 Mike Dimmick explains. Thankfully, Mike has also created a solution by patching some of the files, so that Humax Media Controller can now be used successfully in Windows 7 x64. The only issue is that Windows must be booted with Driver Signing Enforcement disabled.
Update Apr 2024
Mike’s site is still up but the link to HumaxPVR.zip that he offered is now dead.
I found a copy of Humax Media Controller with Mike’s driver added that I downloaded and e‑mailed to someone around 14 years ago still intact in my old gmail and have now rescued it.
