For me it pretty much "just worked" . That of course is dependent on
your Kernel, etc. I'm running Fedora 11 and did all the dist updates
prior to install so that I would mentioned on the wiki to get channel
changes to work reliably. I do not think these patcheshave the latest
and greatest Kernel. Make sure you read the Mythtv HD-PVR wiki.
Make sure that if you're using the SP/DIF input to the HD-PVR, that
its hooked up or it will fail (I had inadvertently hooked it to the
output instead of the input - oops)
I needed to incorporate the patches are in the current .22 release.
