[mythtv-users] Nebula DigiTV advice

[Ben Rometsch]

Hi There,

I am planning on putting a mini-ITX Gentoo-based MythTV box together in 
a few weeks and was just wanting to check that my choices of hardware 
were good.

I have a lot of Gentoo and Linux experience, so I am not too worried 
about this side of things; it's more hardware compatiablity that I am 
concerned about.

Having googled and looked through this mailing list, I was thinking that 
the Nebula DigiTV card would be the one to go for (I am in the UK and so 
will be able to make use of the free-to-air digital signal). it seems 
that the DigiTV card works ok under Linux (using the 2.6 
kernel...correct?). Has anyone had any luck getting the remote control 
to work? Failing that, are there patches for LIRC? Am I right in saying 
that the LIRC code does not run too well under 2.6?

I was going to use a Shuttle XPC SN45G with a Radeon 8500 providing the 
TV-Out. Again, does anyone have any experience with this hardware? I'm 
not certain that using TV-Out on the Radeon is going to be all that easy...?

Thanks in advance,
Ben
