[mythtv-users] Anyone use WinFast TV2000

[Bruce C.Dillahunty]

I've been using it fine... had a hard time (unlike Joe) getting lirc 
going, but the newer lirc seems to do much better there.

My worst problem was that I had the input connected to the FM tuner 
instead of the TV tuner... amazingly it worked, but boy was the picture 
bad :-).

Fixed that and right now the only issue I have (which some people point 
to being related to the tuner= stuff in bttv is that the contrast, etc. 
settings don't work in myth... they used to, so I know it works, I'm 
just not sure what I changed.
