[mythtv-users] Hack a Tivo or roll up my sleeves?

[Julian]

Thanks for the replies.  I think I am gonna be
adventurous and try to build X.org with the TV out
drivers from the Gatos project.  Is it best to
download the source rpms or get it direct from X.org? 
I have followed Jarod's HOWTO, and to my understanding
need to rebuild X to build and use the GATOS drivers.

Thanks in advance,
Julian
