Hello All,<br>
I'm new to MythTV but an old hand at Linux. I've read a lot of
positive feedback about MythTV and I am excited to try my hand at it.<br>
<br>
I've done a MythTV install using an HD3000 card, KnoppMyth, and
following (as close as is still possible) an EFF document titled,
"EFF's Guide to Building Your Own PVR."<br>
<br>
The install was not without a few obstacles (Lilo config had a
syntax error after the install), but I have MythTV somewhat up and
running. Now I'm looking for information about clear QAM (unencrypted)
support. Rumor is that it is available in the DVB driver in the 2.6.12
kernel which I upgraded to. However, I haven't yet had success pulling
in clear QAM signals off of my cable. EyeTV users in my area confirm
they can pull in clear QAM channels off the same cable system. I have
had success with this card and MythTV pulling in ATSC over an antenna.<br>
<br>
I'm doing a lot of searching and reading, but there are many
different forums, lists, and niche how-to's. I'm having a hard time
determining a good approach to understanding MythTV at a deeper level
than following cookbook instructions and then scratching my head when
things don't match the instructions.<br>
<br>
Can someone recommend a general order and specific documents
(and/or forums) that would be helpful to a seasoned Linux user who is
new to MythTV? More than just a list of resources, I'm hoping for "read
this first, this next, ... this forum is good for this issue and this
other forum for that kind of discussion, etc." Any help on the clear
QAM, or pointers to documentation for that would also be very
appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thank you!!<br>
Brian<br>
