putting the driver dll in a subdirectory of the run directory did the trick
i had put it in /qt/lib and that did not work (i will check to see if 
/qt/lib/sqldrivers works)

as i have a working myth configurataion i pointed my new windows 
frontend at my existing master backend and how i can watch tv, play 
recordings, etc.

as i haven't rebuilt qt yet (a task for tomorrow) there are a few 
strange things going on.
after watching a recording i cannot go backc into live tv

there seems to be something weird with muting - after jumping forward or 
back the sound is muted. an unmute fixes that, so this is not a show 
stopper.

i cannot change channel or pull up the menu or the osd

the picture obscures the title bar of the window and it is not possible 
to run in non-windowed mode

the volume control doesn't seem to work

i cannot change tuners (the Y command).

but i have to say - fantastic work everyone. i would think that this 
will be ready for prime time in about another 3-4 weeks (at the current 
rate).
