[mythtv-users] daft newbie questions :-)

[Paul Smith]

I have a 2 tuner setup. An ati tv wonder and ati tv wonder ve.  I got
the tv wonder (not ve) working via btaudio (hence no pass through cable)
freeing up my onboard audio which I will use as an all purpose linux
audio device so that mythtv will have exclusive use of my sblive.
