[mythtv-users] strange TV channel problem

[Patrick McKnight]

Tim,

Yes, these cards work well in the half-height boxes.  Unfortunately I have 
yet to identify a card based on the bttv chipset that also supports duplex 
sound (btaudio).  If anyone has a suggestion I am willing to check it out.  

Regarding a remote, I'm still in the market.  I ordered the IrMan dongle 
(serial port irc dongle) and have yet to set it up.  I'll let you know 
when I get it running.  Any suggestions on a remote?
