I assume you're referring to the "original" HD-PVR 1212 with the blue l
ight under the lid?<br /><br />1. I used one of these converters for a while with my old setup and had no problems at all. In fact I still have it lying around somewhere in case you have trouble finding one online.<br /><br />5. Remember that you can't update the HD-PVR firmware from Linux. You'll need a windows box to do it. Recent kernels support the latest firmware. Read the WIKI if you're in doubt.<br /><br />Just my two-halfpenny worth<br /><br />Marius<br />
