[mythtv-users] IVTV and the Yuan MPG600GR

I've never had the issue with B&W video.  Thank god, I think I would have 
lost a gasket after carting it back from Kyoto.  Here's the process I 
used.  It's in Japanese but makes sense:

I'm running Fedora 1 which of course if 2.4.22.  Are you guys running 2.6? 
 The 150 looks intersting, but I've got myself invested in the mpg600.

ABIT VA-10 (I've sent this back to new egg after fan header,  on-board 
audio, and usb failed)
 440MX





IBM is pretty much the same I imagine as you left.  I am doing mostly HPC 
clusters.  1100 dual Opterons makes a lot of noise.  Think I forgot to 
remove my contact info from the bottom of one of these posts.  Whoops.

Evidently there are 2 different pvr150mce's.  Technically 3, but 2 of them
are the full height.  The one that is low profile has a model number of
1086 found here ... http://www.hauppauge.com/Pages/prods_pvrs.html.  Its
at the bottom of that page.

Offtopic though, how is IBM nowadays?  Been 4-5 years since i worked
there... though the mass storage division got sold off.
