HP ProLiant MicroServer

I am running Openelec on my HP Microserver and now want to add a plug n play TV tuner (card or usb) to run live TV streaming through it. Can anyone recommend which one is best that is available locally?
 
i just installed the ge force 210 nvidia. im getting an intermittent flickering on the video and no sound at all. im busy googling but was wondering if someone has experienced this already. cheers!

Card seated properly?
HDMI cable maybe been damaged?

switched cables with same result. menus is fine. flicker is during video play. its weird. seems to play ohk but then scene changes and it flickers again.

i checked the seating before i closed up but will recheck as last resort. going to update to a higher OS. although 1.0 is the only one that works for this microserver thus far. others just gives me blank screens.

so updated to 2.95 - video is perfect but all the scrapers are broken so no library updates possible. just my luck. all download are failing from that website though. so another build i will try.

edit. still no sound:mad:
 
Are you sure your network settings are correct? Last time I had issues those were the culprits
 
I have one micro server with a 6450 and another one with a GT620. Both seem to function identical to me on OpenELEC-Generic.i386-3.0.1.tar. The only difference is the sound of the fan on the 620

Well it's gonna be a bitch to enable Hardware acceleration for video, if you're only playing SD content you can get away with the CPU. If the video stutters then you're gonna have to do hacking to get it working properly

I checked on the web and it seems there is a support and drivers available for ATI though? Saw a article that said Ubuntu should even be able to automatically install the proprietary driver from the repos once the card is detected?

The point of getting the card in there is for HDMI and HD video support :-(

Will head on over to the Linux section and see what they say

From my experience there are drivers, but they don't work with hardware acceleration in XBMC, most videos were fine running off the CPU but the bigger HD ones stuttered. If you're gonna use VLC it might not be an issue but for XBMC this process fixed it: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116996

I have had the same issue, in my case I y use profiles and it looks like of I am not logged into one of the them I cannot access sickbeard.
From my side of actually like that it doesn't automatically start a profile but gives you the login screen first.
