[mythtv-users] Jarrod's Guide for Debian?

[David]

I run 2.6 on two MythTV machines and it's rock solid on one and pretty 
good on the other (which has nvidia driver probs from time to time)

The rock solid one is KnoppMyth + patched ivtv + ivtvdev with a 350 - 
excellent
t'other one is KnoppMyth with nvidia drivers

I would agree that it's not (yet) for the faint-hearted - I will try and 
do a rebuild and document RSN - the problem is that the machine is in 
'production' use ;) The other half would *not* be happy to lose it for 
more than a few hours!!!
