Does anyone know if mythtv 0.26 is compatible with the qt48 library?  I'm
still on mythtv 0.26, largely because the EL6 qt issue was a blocker (at
least up until scrpms provided the packages I need).  I've been
procrastinating on the 0.27 upgrade, but I'm starting to see compelling
reasons to make the move, including the latest Android client discussed on
this forum.

I have 3 FEs (two Livas running Mythbuntu 12 and one EL6 box) and 1 BE
(EL6), so my plan is to get all the dependencies in place FIRST (largely,
qt48, but also any nvidia and related kmdls/kernel upgrades), and then as a
last step, pull in the mythtv 0.27 rpms.
