Subject: Linux/MythTV drivers for 2nd gen PVR cards

I read your post about MythTV and PVR Drivers.  Most of the popular new  PVR
cards sold for Windows XP MC are based on Connexant's "Blackbird" design,
which hasn't had drivers for Linux or Myth.

We have been working on these drivers and released an alpha version at
http://plutohome.com.  Pluto even has a self-booting kick-start CD that will
automatically install & configure everything for you, including a
ready-to-go Myth system.  It's the fastest and easiest way to get a MythTV
PVR up and running, and also installs Xine, Asterisk and our own software to
give you the most advanced media & entertainment, home automation, security,
telecom & computing system, controllable with your Symbian Bluetooth mobile
phone, as well as PDA's and Webpads.

We're working hard to harden the drivers as quickly as possible and would
like as much feedback as possible.  These 2nd generation "Blackbird" cards
are lower in price and offer better picture quality than the current models
supported in IVTV, so be sure to check them out.

visit: plutohome.com, click 'support', 'support site', and choose "CX88
Blackbird Drivers" from the projects menu
