Thanks guys!

I will try this tonight or tomorrow if possible. I was using the latest
greatest (ha!) drivers so hopefully this will help. You would think that
with as much lurking that I do I would have seen this crucial tip ;)

I "think" I disabled the OSS parts on early troubleshooting, so I might
check module.conf to see if the trouble lies there. I am getting NO sound
from Ogle, but MythTV and even system sounds are cool.

True. True. I guess I just figured that since the thing is designed as a
dongle that is supposed to hang next to other cables (not to mention the RF
generated from a running computer) that the receiver would be more robust.
This is the "ugly" part of my system right now as it hanging from the front
USB ports (still not sure why the other 4 ports don't want to play with
devices yet)

Anyone have any input on the mythfilldatabase issue? Thanks!
