[mythtv-users] Partial Success with EPIA V10000/PVR350

[Shawn Edwards]

I'm having a similar problem on my M10K system.  I just thought it was 
due to something stupid I was doing with my gentoo build (I'm a gentoo 
newbie).

Any help is appreciated and if I find something that helps I'll post it.
