My mythbox has survived in Lund (southern end of Sweden) since 2004 through a number of hardware iterations. Still has the original database, too. =)<br><br>I currently run an i7 system on Fedora 15 (KDE spin) with all Hauppauge cards:<br>
* Nova-T 500 for DVB-T.<br>* PVR-500 for analogue cable.<br>* PCTV 290e DVT-C/DVB-T2 USB stick.<br><br>The USB stick is new since DVB-T2 started here 6+ months ago and I want to try to get the (few) HD channels that are unencrypted. Everything else Just Works (tm) although I did inherit a lot of the config from my old system that ran Fedora 13. :)<br>
<br>Since I live in an apartment I have basic SD analogue/digital cable through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Com_Hem">ComHem</a>, the biggest cable company. It's included in my rent and gets me 15 channels, 6 of which I also get for free over DVB-T. Due to lack of free time I don't see the point of paying for more channels since I won't have time to watch more than I already record anyway...<br>
<br>ComHem has a bad reputation for various reasons (bad customer service, old infrastructure hardware, etc) but it's my only option atm. Alternatives are CanalDigital, ViaSat, KabelVision. You can also get shared cable nets in some apartment buildings (satellite dish or shared OTA antenna). Of course, if you move to your own house you get more options.<br>
<br>I guess the biggest change will be how few channels you get unless you pay for extra (encrypted) ones. And the delay to get US shows. And the long but far-apart commercial breaks.<br><br>/ Niklas<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi all- Have had production mythtv boxes in use at my house in the USA for past 9 years. I've been using a mix of digital and analog cards capturing SD from cable and clear QAM digital from cable in the USA. In 3 weeks, I'll be relocating my family to Gothenburg Sweden. Looking for any info regarding tuner cards, cable companies, setups that work well in Sweden. I've googled around and I suspect that my problem is I'm searching in English and not Swedish- but I don't speak Swedish(yet). Anyone in Sweden have a good working setup and could share some details? Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>Mike<br>
