Noel,
I have prepared the image file on the SDHC card and this works OK.
I have downloaded Filezilla and can connect to my RPi and see the file structure.
I have the file RPiDATV.tar.gz on the PC in the local window.
I assume this has to go the Home directory on the RPi, but when I try to drag it across, transfer fails because permission is denied.
When I right click on the Home directory, I can see certain write permission boxes are not ticked. I can tick them, but the ticks clear themselves.
I think I am missing one final stage?

Hi Shaun
That's because you don't have the permission set on your RPi to write in that directory.
You need to run the linux command chmod to set the permissions - something like: sudo chmod 777
Google or some kind Linux person on here will tell you the exact command if that's not right.
Sorry I didn't include this in the instructions as mine was already set as I went through this on a previous RPi project.

Noel,
Ian G8XZD came over today and he resolved the Linux problems and the new interface is working well. UglyDATV is streaming good camera video in MPEG2, but Tutioune falls over when we try H264, because we suspect that this computer has no H264 codec installed (older XP machine). So one last hurdle to overcome! Thanks for your advice.

Re: Raspberry encode camera and output IQ
This set of instructions should work although I think Evariste will be updating the s/w soon....
The original software is called RPiDATV0.1.img.zip and is a complete image for the Raspberry Pi SD card. Unzip the image with Winzip or 7zip and then use your PC to build an image on the 8 GB SD card using a disk imager program. I use win32diskimager but full instructions are available here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... windows.md
Connect up the Raspberry Pi in the normal way using a monitor and keyboard or preferably connect remotely via SSH using a program such as Putty – this is the preferred method and full instructions are available here: http://raspberrypi4dummies.wordpress.co ... ssh-putty/
I use this program http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/ to find the ip address of the RPi (and other devices) on the network.
Insert the SD card in the Raspberry Pi and power on.
At the prompt enter pi for login and tv for the password.
Dir will show one directory called UglyDATV.
Now you need to load the new main program which needs putting in to the home or top level directory on the RPi.
You can do this by SFTP using a program such as Filezilla. Full instructions are here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentatio ... sh/sftp.md Note you may need to log out of SSH before using SFTP.
Once you have the file in the top level directory (not the UgluDATV directory) log back in to the RPi as before and then unpack the new file by typing tar -xvf RpiDATV.tar.gz This will show the files as they are unpacked.
Once complete type cd RpiDATV and then ./gbmenu.sh and you should then have the UI....
