<div class="">That sounds like a kernel problem. I know that the
3B+ needs a newer kernel. I don't think that was
reflected in Raspbian until at least the RPi 3B+ release
date of 3/14/18.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There may be a way for you to only upgrade the kernel
by chrooting into that distribution from another
Raspberry Pi, perhaps by installing current Raspbian on
another card and mounting the target 11/29/17 Raspbian
card with a USB reader.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It's a pain but I bet that will work. I've done
similar things with other single board computers. The
end will be 11/29/17 with an upgraded kernel. Which
version to pick is another story. Perhaps the latest
one, perhaps not. You could try the oldest kernel made
after 3/14/18 I suppose.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You might have to grab the actual .deb file and
upgrade it manually with dpkg -i. I'm not very familiar
with Debian-based distributions. Perhaps there is a
limited upgrade apt command that will do it.<br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Good luck. If you get stuck I can do it in parallel
here. I have spare microSD cards and a RPi3B+.<br class="">

So I downloaded the latest Raspbian for RP3+
(2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch.zip) and used Etcher to flash it to a
32GB microSD and this one booted fine. I'm going to try and get
MythTV Lite running on it like I didn't know any better and see what
happens.<br class="">

I didn’t try much performance tuning yet, but it seems to work fine. I’m using HDMI video to a A/V receiver and the receiver sends the audio to 5.1 speakers and video to my UHD TV.
