Hi,<br><br>Thanks for all the answers...<br><br>I bought a pair of Freecom DVB sticks.<br><br>I got it working on my Mac Mini using FC6 (i had to download the firmware, but updating the kernel to the latest official release got the kernel modules loading OK)
<br><br>I got myth installed, and it saw the cards, but I had to manually round off the frequencies in the dvb_multiplex table to the nearest MHz to get it to tune successfully (which was not nescesary on my old Nova PCI card).
<br><br>It was all working lovely, and it recorded a lot of stuff yesterday but now the box has crashed during the night last night, and I cant see it (Im not at home, so I cannot check what crashed it...). I hope its not one of those 'crashes randomly' things :(
