I only have a 200GB SATA<br>drive in it for now. I wanted to make sure it works before I invest more $$ for<br>a bigger drive. I loaded Mythdora 4.0, and couldn't get it to work. Then I downloaded<br>the latest fixes, compiled it and it started working!! I haven't hooked it up to a TV<br>yet, but it works on the monitor and to my PC using MythTV Player. If everything<br>works well, I'll probably get another, smaller PC for the frontend and figure out<br>how to get it hooked up.<br><br>So my problems are these:<br>1. The picture skips about once a second....almost like a
heartbeat.<br><br>2. The sound is kind of funny...like people have been on helium!! I have the<br>output from the stb plugged into the PVR-350.<br><br>3. I have DirecTV, have my account on Schedules Direct, and everything is fine<br>there except for the local channels. I'm in the So. Cal. area and I can't find the<br>local independents, like KCAL and KTLA. Is that something with Schedules<br>Direct, or is it a mapping problem I need to fix?<br><br>Any help would be appreciated. If any of this is documented somewhere, please<br>let me know where. I've searched the docs on several sites, and watched this list<br>for a week or so now and haven't found anything that helps!! HELP!!<br><br>Thanks<br>Ken<br><br></div></body></html>
