Ditto on that..  I was a happy mediatomb customer for the last year or
so..  It worked with our directv HDDVRs andm transcoded anything I
threw at t to the mpeg2ts format they needed.  Luckily, I have
replaced all of that with revos and authentic mythtv frontends
lately..  The mythtv recordings would have worked right away on the
dvrs, but the framerate was too high (they only support 8mbit/s)..
