</div>It's your call. So far, I'm very happy with the code I've written.<br>
It's been working great with only a few small issues (nothing that has<br>
prevented any recordings, and I hope to work on addressing these<br>
issues next week). I'm planning on posting my code tomorrow (or make<br>
that today...Wednesday). I've got most of the text written up, but<br>
it's almost 1AM, so I've got to get to bed soon.<br>
<br>
One thing I'm already noticing is that my recordings seem to be<br>
turning out better than what I captured using my HD Homerun (though<br>
I'll need a little bit longer term usage to confirm this initial<br>
impression is correct). With the HD Homerun, I'd periodically get<br>
pixelation/blocking in the picture. I had assumed it was caused by a<br>
bad signal coming into my house. At some point, I has suspected it was<br>
possibly networking issues causing lost packets or overrunning the<br>
NIC's buffer or something, but when I looked into that several times,<br>
I was not able to identify any problems. However, so far I haven't<br>
been seeing those problems in my recordings, so I'm thinking it maybe<br>
was a networking issue, and having the card directly in the computer<br>
is proving a little more reliable. Or it could be that the Ceton has a<br>
much better tuner than my 3-4 year old HD Homerun.<br>

</div>Shipping is free. Do you have to pay tax on newegg purchases?<br>

</span></div>Unfortunately yes, we have to pay 7% sales tax here in NJ from NewEgg. That and the $6 shipping made the $250 PRIME cost $275 shipped.<br><br>I am running Mythbuntu 11.04 with .24-fixes, and have never compiled MythTV. I am not sure what the steps would be. git, make, make install? Probably not that easy. I am also a little fuzzy on the configuration of the card outside of MythTV. Like assigning an IP address and accessing the card's web server from another box.<br>
