[mythtv-users] DVB card for Australia (melbourne)

[David Whyte]

I use 2 Avermedia 771's in my box with no problems.  I can't tune SBS,
but I don't get SBS anywhere in the house even on conventional TV's.

I found it difficult to set them up with a stock FC2 install (using
Jarods guide) but the main problem was my lack of linux knowlegde.  A
linux savvy mate helped me and it is working fine now.

I don't like the idea of HD yet.  I don't have the horsepower, or the
storage capacity for it at the moment.  SD Digital looks great so I am
happy.

I am thinking of getting a third avermedia in the near future.

HTH's
