[mythtv-users] Jarod's Guide - mostly working!

It seems that I did too much of Jarod's guide as root when I should have
been in the mythtv user.  But I've fixes most of that and I have just a
few issues left.  Guide works, recording works, remote works...I'm
loving it!  I've been digging through the archives, but it's tough
finding these specific issues...

1. I followed the assuming PVR-350 out and it works great, sound and
all.  But ONLY tv shows up on the PVR-350 output.  The MythTV menus
still reside on my monitor?  Where did I go wrong?  How do I get
everything to the PVR-350 output?

2. The MythGallery menu is "ghosted"?  And I can't seem to get the "menu
selector" over to it?  So I manually copy pictures into
/var/lib/pictures and then they show up in the MythGallery screen...but
still I can't move off of the pictures to the menu on the left (trying
to get to IMPORT button!)

3. I've read but can't confirm that MythGallery won't work with PVR-350
out?  I have an MSI MX440 in as well.  What would I need to do in order
to switch from the PVR-350 out to the MX440 out?

FYI, my system is...

Backend Server and Frontend A (TOTAL: $789)
	Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350 Personal Video Recorder
	ASUS A7V8X-X w/AMD XP 2600+ w/512MB RAM
	Antec Overture (piano black) Case w/380W ATX PSU
	Seagate 200GB ST3200822A ULTRA ATA 100 8MB 7200RPM
	MSI MX440-T 64MB 8XAGP DDR W/TV (backup should PVR-250 out no
work)
	SONY 16X DVD-ROM DDU1621 Silver
	Later add second tuner to Backend Server (I got in on $88
PVR-250 on ebay)

Later Front Ends B,C,D... (TOTAL: $346 each)
	ASUS A7V8X-MX-SE w/AMD XP 2600+ w/512MB RAM
	Antec Minuet (piano black) Case w/220W ATX PSU
	MSI MX440-T 64MB 8XAGP DDR W/TV
	SONY 16X DVD-ROM DDU1621 Silver
	Hard Drive (can I skip this somehow and network boot?)

So I hope to get the backend working without additional PVR-250...then
I'll add the PVR-250.  And then I'll try creating the next Front End.

Thanks,
Matt
