10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I have this book and have pretty much read
through the whole thing. It is very helpful for a semi-experienced linux/unix
guy to be able to install MythTV and get everything to work properly… provided
you use the same hardware that they cover (i.e. nvidia video cards, Hauppauge pvr
cards, etc.). I still think it could use some editing in some areas because
even for a relatively experienced “tinkerer” like myself, it was still somewhat
a challenge to finally get everything working.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
