[mythtv-users] I just can't get it working.

[Cyber Source]

I gotta chime in on this one, MythTV is definitely worth the time it 
takes. I spent alot of time setting it up only because I always had 
trouble with sound. With apt-get and the specs found at 
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv, it really couldn't be easier. The missing 
part about sound configs would have saved me alot of anguish. It is 
important to setup the encoders and transcoders for audio sampling rate. 
Mine at 48000 works like a champ, perfect sync and quality.
Simply put, there are just WAY too many cool things you can do with 
MythTV. My favorite is if your cruising through the channels and happen 
on a movie you like but it's halfway over, you can use the guides 
advanced section to find the next occurance of the movie and then set it 
up to record. I've done that a few time now, that is just too cool to me!
