Tom:

I'm using FC2, initially set up with the (invaluable) help of Jarod's 
guide. To be honest, I eliminated KnoppMyth as a distro because my goal 
was a fun project as much as a PVR (I allready have TiVo, so there was 
no pressing need to get the PVR up and running). Also, I thought that 
setting up Myth would go a long way to familiarizing me with Linux 
(which it has!!).

Now that I'm this close, though, I'm dying to cancel my TiVo 
subscription!!! :-)

 From my reading it sounds like I'll have to bite the bullet and 
recompile with the XvMC flag set to on.... I guess I'll just brace 
myself for a long (and probably painful night). Maybe I'll check first 
to see if Axel has released his RPMs with XvMC support included.... :-)

- Mark
