Yup, but you don't have to compile qt completely... I found that you 
can run the configure, then make the sql driver in examples, then 
plugins/src to find the mysql driver, make that, and copy it into place 
in /sw/lib/qt3-plugins.  Or something like this.

I've got mine up to working to connect, but it looks like playing 
recordings, or live TV does not work yet, or has anyone gotten this 
part working?
