You can add another confirmation, Isaac :) I've been struggling with a 
MythTV system for weeks, and it's finally starting to come together. 
I'm seeing around 10-15% watching live TV, jumping to around 35% when 
the OSD fades out, but no stutter.

I'm still having problems, though - I can view TV at 480x320, but when 
set to 720x576 I get a screen full of green lines, under which the TV 
picture can be barely seen. That seems to be the only big problem at 
the moment, other than the GUI corruption which was mentioned before. 
Could anyone who's got this hardware setup working well post some 
details about their software setup, for comparison?

My current setup:

EPIA M10000
PVR-250
RedHat 9
Kernel 2.4.22-rc2-ac3
XFree86 4.3.99.11 (latest CVS)
VIA video driver from CLEXF40030-lite package
MythTV 0.11 (latest CVS)
