</div>Well, good news Tom. I'm watching The Daily Show in HD right now on a<br>
freshly built MythBuntu 11.04 box. Those basic instructions I gave you<br>
earlier were about 90% of what you needed to know. It was just a<br>
matter of trial and error figuring out the rest (and lots of google<br>
searching to figure out the meaning of the errors I encountered). And<br>
it would have helped if I had remembered to follow my own instructions<br>
for configuring it properly...that would have saved me about an hour<br>
of debugging.<br>
<br>
I even managed to do something really cool in the process...I don't<br>
actually have my Ceton card installed in this mythbuntu box, yet I'm<br>
watching TV off it. I put together some very crude perl client/server<br>
scripts that actually transport the video from one system to the<br>
other. This is something I knew would be possible, and for a while<br>
I've been meaning to figure out a way to accomplish it. This mythbuntu<br>
test project was just the inspiration I needed to get it done. Well,<br>
not quite done....they're pretty crude and need a lot of polishing,<br>
but the basics are there.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'm gonna try and finish up the basic instructions and post<br>
them on my blog ( <a href="http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com</a> ). Yesterday I posted<br>
some general info about my development process. Either tonight or<br>
tomorrow, I'm gonna try to get the second post done with instructions<br>
for a general install from git, and then after that I'll put up the<br>
Mythbuntu instructions in part 3.<br>
