    Linux DVR Software?

    Am trying to do my homework concerning building a DVR so need to first decide what Linux software to use (MythTV, Freevo, VDR, LinuxMCE,...)

    Have been using a SA 8300HD with TW cable for >2yrs and my biggest complaint is the inability to do high speed HDD to HDD transfers for programs that I would like to archive.

    Appreciate any suggestions from anyone who has actually done this.

    Thanks

      Define "high speed".
      On large transfers most drives will max out at around 50-60 MB/sec (the limit of the head-disk transfer rate) after the effects of the buffer are overcome.

          PCBONEZ,

          "Define 'high speed'. On large transfers most drives will max out at around 50-60 MB/sec"

          That is fine with me.

          At present with the SA 8300HD all I can do is "Real Time" using Video and Audio Out jacks which is a "Real Pain".

          Hope you have tried something!

          Thanks

              FlexBV FREE Edition - Modern Boardview software for Win, macOS and Linux
              by inflex
              Now available, FlexBV Free edition is a slimmed down product of the full licenced version.

              https://pldaniels.com/flexbv5 ( available on the downloads page or most of the way down on the main page )

              If you're looking for a modern alternative to existing boardview programs that's also cross platform then consider giving FlexBV Free a go.

              So what's missing?

              Copy DMI info easily with Hex editing software and Macro script
              by SMDFlea
              Copying DMI information from an old bios to a new one is difficult for some members, often they have no experience with a hex editor,or some that have tried find it too hard.There is an option to make things easier for those members so that they don`t need to post their own bios backup for the DMI copying.

              Experienced bios modding members can help by posting in other threads the DMI offsets,macro script generated by the software and a download link to the software at softpedia mentioned in this guide,or post your macros in the comments here with a link to the bios request thread ....

              Backup To OneDrive Software? Everything! Best Software?
              by NeedsPractice
              I contacted Microsoft and they said they do not have software to where you could backup all your files to one drive. I mean you can copy some of your files to your one drive folder and back stuff up. However, it does not do this automatically.

              I have around (10) hard drives I want to backup to the cloud with One Drive. What is the best software to do this with?

              AOMEI Backupper
              I Drive
              Easeus

              I do not want a Cloud Plan. I just need the software to take my DATA and Transfer it to the cloud in a nice, readable, viewable fashion. I wish...

              iMac fan ramps up after shutting down. Software? SMC? FET?
              by BMCappelletti
              Hi everyone.
              There are some topics here (also on a lot of other places) regarding this issue, but I believe none has a definitive answer. At least I didn't see anyone saying it really worked for them.
              In my case I have an iMac A1418 (late 2012) that the fan goes full blast (or at least ramps up the speed) after going to sleep or turning the computer off.
              It's not a software issue, cause it was formatted and it happens with any MacOS version I test.
              At some places people say it would be an issue with the S5 rail. Others say it's the S0 rail. And some others say it's an SMC...

              JVC LT-55C870(B) Corrupt Software??
              by Russ17
              Hi,

              I have a JVC LT-55C870(C). All that happens upon applying power is the red led flashes slowly (1Hz).
              If I hold the OK on the remote while powering on, the led flashes at 2Hz, but without a USB Device attached, it obviously does nothing, no screen or backlight.

              Any thoughts on this being corrupted software?

              Owner says the TV experienced a power surge.

              If software is a possibility, can someone point me in the right direction to download the correct software. Is there a procedure to force software to load from USB?
