[mythtv-users] Install tips for RH9 and PVR250 owners for Myth

Jeff - very nicely done. :)  Gonna use it as the model for the
Gentoo/350 writeup I should have out by Wednesday.  

For those playing along at home, got my audio issues fixed by decreasing
the bitrate out of the 350.  What's a little annoying is the OSD fade
in/out uses enough cpu that I had to decrease the bitrate a bit(haha)
below optimum...

OK, tangents, sorry - I'm a channel surfer.  MythTV doesn't seem to give
itself to this readily, takes me about a second or so to change a
channel.  Any chance of speeding that up?
