First things first: great work! I finally made the compilation  in a 
Suse 7 machine, it looks great!

Now, the point I think a lot of us are facing after running MythTV and 
wanting to enjoy the system:  I need an upgrade, URGENT!! :-)

I am testing the setup in a AMDk6-2 400, I know is an old one, but .... 
well, this machine with an ATI TV Wonder VE as the capture card, it is 
not possible to see LiveTV, it "jumps" too much, reading on the website, 
etc.... what are your opinions?   Buy a WinTV 350 for example ($200) ? 
Will this be enough to watch Live TV and record or should I go to a 
complete upgrade of the system, let's say >1.5ghz ??

Thanks for you opinions and again, it looks wonderful, it always 
surprise me the amount of work that people can do... just for fun!!  ;-)
