</div>Seconded.<br>
I have one of these and it works fine with linux version 3.0. I have<br>
had it recording four programmes at once using multirec. Skipping in<br>
DVB-T2 streams is not perfect and only fixable by the broadcaster but<br>
the scrambled macroblocks disappear very quickly. If you need help<br>
building 3.0 on Debian stable let me know. If you have more than one<br>
DVB tuner you will have to fix the device names so that MythTV will<br>
get the right ones. I have hacked /etc/default/mythtv-backend to make<br>
nicely named symlinks just before the backend is started. You can type<br>
the nice names into mythtv-setup when channel scanning or edit the<br>
database afterwards.<br>
<br>
case "$1" in<br>
start|restart)<br>
# Make symlinks from sensible names to the DVB tuners. There are<br>
two types and<br>
# the devices are created in any order so keep separate counts.<br>
