2.6.9-chw-4 // this is from a hacked-up Knoppmyth install

Yes, I'm using Via-Rhine, in the default config.  I've been having some 
trouble with it on my backend (an Epox 8K9A7) but it seems to be fine 
on the frontend.

Well, I'm booting from CF and mounting /usr and the MythVideo library 
over nfs, but streaming actual TV playback.  Haven't had too much 
trouble, except for that pesky backend NIC issue and the occasional FC3 
vs ivtv IRQ storm.  The frontend has been pleasantly uneccentric.
