I have it working in a Mandrake 10.1 system.  The hardest part was 
finding out one of my channels cannot be receive by myth (the one I put 
as the default channel.)  for some reason I don't know the tsprog 
setting for it.  the only mplayer way to get it is tsprog 0 the rest 
work just much better.  zap2it has two of the pbs subchannels on the 
same subchannel 10-1 and 10-1.  I turned one off and that fixed many 
issues also.
