I have from the outset used Mythbuntu and apologies but I am not at my machine to verify kernels etc but have moved through various upgrades seamlessly to my now current 12.04LTS release with MythTV 0.26 (and last updated a month or so ago...I tend not to update my system unless I really feel the need...if it aint broke dont fix it).</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>I have the older USB stick with 1 standard (Belling lee) antenna socket on the end and one of the smaller connectors on the side and also the current stick with the 2 smaller conectors and the flying lead to combine them onto 1 antenna input. They are subtly different in terms of receiver sensitivity. In my previous house i needed an amplifier for one of the sticks (cant remember which way round it is). Since moving I now have line of sight and found that the other stick was being swamped with the signal yet the amplifier still helped the other. It is a cheap ebay mains fed indoor amp with 4 outputs feeding the TV directly etc. So my current setup uses the output of the amplifier directly to feed one stick and the TV and the third output goes through a variable attenuator (cheap ebay job again) to feed the other stick. When they switched off the analogue and upped the power I had to turn up the attenuation.</div>
