I did it and it works perfectly now. There was an issue with the sound but changing some settings in mythtv cleared that up. I hope that helps you. The only thing I have not tested is the FM tuner yet James _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
