I was running Mandriva, but looks like I need a change now with them dropping the home user support.  This machine will now be totally dedicated to Mythtv so that may help guide me to the best alternative distro.  The main question I have is what distro is best for using the old Hauppauge PRV-350 cards.  I only use them for A/D conversion now and don't use the output side of the card at all (backend only).  I do however use the IR output signal to switch channels on my Bell (Canada) Satellite box(s).  These set top boxes are essentially the same as Dish in the USA I believe.  Does Mythbuntu 'out of the box' support using the PVR-350 cards as I've described above?

Hi Scott,

Seems to me the PVR-350 should be supported by mythtv and has been for 
some time. However, I have never ran one. I had dual PVR-150s with 
remote control and channel changing controlled by a serial/usb converter 
to a Directv box. But the 350's have been around for a long time and I 
would think support is pretty down pat on them in mythtv.

I have mythbuntu right now and am pretty happy with it. I did run into 
some networking issues with networkmanager after an upgrade or two. But 
got everything sorted out.
