[mythtv] Poll: System Requirements

[Allen T. Gilliland IV]

/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 9729/255/63, sectors = 156301488,
start = 0

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  2.91 seconds =
21.99 MB/sec

/dev/hda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  1.03 seconds
=124.27 MB/sec

not sure if there is anything else to do.

I also noticed a strange thing as well ... hitting
<enter> in mythepg doesn't change the channel for me,
only <m> works from the epg.  Strange.
