Hi Paul. Kind of related to this thread. What versions of Mythtv and
mvpmc are you running? I'm still on 0.16 of myth and 0.1.2 of mvpmc.
Just curious if I'm going to need to upgrade mvpmc when I get around to
upgrading mythtv. 

Also, have you had any trouble with the volume level when playing
recordings through your mediamvp? For example, when playing over the mvp
I'd have to turn the TV's voulme a lot higher than it's set for normal
TV. To fix it I've put an old equalizer in the middle to boost the
signal about 12db. Just curious if you've had any issues like that. 

The WAF is pretty high here too. We rarely watch LiveTV unless it's
sports, weather related, or plain boredom surfing... (don't get much
time for that I'm afraid...)

Thanks,
James
