[mythtv-users] Re:Re: Using this dirt cheap mobo for a MythTV box

[gabe at mustbethemoney.com]

I have this mobo and put in a PVR-350 and get good playback.  I am having
issues when it goes all day where i need to exit out of live tv and go
back in, but I assume that is related to the buffer being full.

Still need to fix my problem regarding start-up where the ivtv module
loading tries to load up an unexistant fb0 module.  Reboots are a PITA to
say the least b/c of this error (need to use a monitor XF86Config file,
then /sbin/modprobe ivtv, then replace the config file and restart kde) --
would love to get some advice on how to fix that issue!

First tried Knoppmyth only to get a lime green screen on all TV playback. It
appears to be a driver issue. Next, loaded Fedora Core using Jarod's
documentation. The system was to run as a frontend only. Playback was really
really bad.

yeah I bought one too.  It's a dog.  I got mythfrontend running on it
(Mandrake, compiled myth from source) and it's all jerky and sound is
choppy.  Not usable.
