[mythtv-users] HD-PVR Support

[nik gibson]

Hello,

Recently my cable provider applied 5c encryption to over 90% of my channels
so my mythtv firewire setup is now almost useless.  As a result I ordered a
hauppauge HD-PVR.  Unfortunately myth 0.21 doesn't support the HD-PVR so I
compiled and installed the trunk version of 0.22 which I got running but was
basically unusuble.  I had crashes, loading bars that never went away,
extremely slow performance among other issues.
Given the anticipation around 0.22 I was dissapointed and I hope it was
issues with my setup as opposed to the quality of the trunk build.

I'm wondering:


   1. Is there anyone who has a working config with the HD-PVR, either with
   trunk or patched 0.21?
   2. Is my experience with trunk typical?  Is it too buggy to be used or
   could there have been issues with my setup?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.  If I can't get the HD-PVR to work
with myth I don't really have any choice but to switch to SageTV or
something else that supports the latest hardware.   I've been a loyal Myth
user for over 4 years so I would hate to have to have to switch but I need
to be able to record.

Thanks

-Nik-
