>> Hi All,
>> I've been lurking here for only about a month so I'm still a little wobbly on my 
>> Myth-feet. I just finished setting up a new Mythbuntu box (my first) front-end / 
>> back-end combo, and was able to record and watch live TV on it. This is just so 
>> freaking cool! But the quality of the live tv picture is a little disappointing. 
>> It is a tiny bit jerky and nowhere near as clean and clear as direct from 
>> antenna to TV. This is OTA only from an HD digital antenna. I think I might need 
>> to set up this VDPAU that everyone is talking about but I'm not real sure how I 
>> can even determine that. Or it may be some other problem.
>>
>> Hardware:
>> TV - 42" Samsung LCD 1080P
>> Tuner - HD Homerun
>> Motherboard - Foxconn A7DA-S
>> CPU - AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma 2.7Ghz dual core
>> Video - Asus silent GeForce 8400GS 64bit PCIe
>> Ram - Kingston 4GB PC2 8500
>> PSU - Corsair 400W
>> HDDs - Samsung 1TB x2 for video + Samsung 250GB for os
>>
>> Software: Mythbuntu 9.0.4 64bit
>>
>> Is there a how-to on setting up VDPAU and do you think I need it?
>>
>>     
Thanks everyone! I have a lot to look at and learn. I will check out all 
these suggestions tonight.
