[mythtv-users] Is there anyone using pchcdtv hd3000 in production "happily" yet?

[David Wood]

I have a pretty liberal definition of happily, too. 

I have the HD3000 working with 2.6.9 patched with the recent 0.16 kernel
patches; meaning, the command line tools work, and xine HD works if you
talk to it nicely (but there are lots of issues like, it doesn't work
unless you do something on the command line first, lots of weirdness
changing channels, etc).

Based on comments, I did not even try using mythtv 0.16; was this a
mistake?

I did a recent CVS build (debian packaging and all) and tried that. I
saw major, major instability. I could occasionally get something
resembling the hdtv video on the screen, but it was never pretty and it
never lasted long. Leaving aside mythtv altogether, my PVR-250 wouldn't
work after dumping any HDTV. 

Yet scanning the archive I see what looks like a lot of people using the
HD2000 or 3000 with mythtv. Is it really true that people have this
working? And if so, is there a concise recipe of versions and patches
that worked for you?
