I still haven’t bothered getting the digital tuner card going in my MythTV PC after all this time.

I know the aerial on roof is OK since I borrowed a settop box from my brother-in-law Jamie. It picked up a full strength high definition signal. So now atleast I know its that the drivers for the card are sucky more than anything else. Speaking to one of the guys at work, the 2.6.12 version of the linux kernel is looking pretty good for the tuner card, so that’ll be something I’ll definitely be trying.

Also, the next step will be to blow away the KnoppMyth install and go for debian. There’s just too many little things about KnoppMyth that bother me. Its a half-baked distro. Its nice that I didn’t have to go through the effort of getting the MySQL part of MythTV going, but it feels like that’s about it.

It has been handy to watch programs that I’ve downloaded though and playing MAME on from time to time.
