Ladies&Gentlemen:

It has been a long time coming but I finally have a fully functioning
MythTV Box...music...streamers...confetti please.

There where times when I almost gave up but I am happy I kept working at
it since it is the superior PVR out there.

Anyway, I thought I would post my hardware for everyone else to see:

Case		Antec Aria
Motherboard	Asus K8S-MX
CPU		AMD Athlon 64 3400+
Memory		2GB Dual Channel
TV-Tuner	Hauppauge Win-TV PVR-150 (PCI)
Sound Card	Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit (Low Profile-PCI)
Video Card	MSI FX5200-TD128LF (Low Profile-AGP)
Ethernet Card	SysKonnect SK-9E21D (Low Profile-PCI-Express)
IR Receiver	Included with TV-Tuner
IR Transmitter	www.irblaster.info RS232 IR Blaster
Remote		Included with TV-Tuner
HDD		160GB IDE
Optical Drive	LG DVD Burner
Keyboard/Mouse	Logitech LX300
Monitor		Dell W3201C
Reciever	Sony STR-DG800
Speakers	Athena 5.2 Surround System

I run an S-Video/RCA Audio feed from my satellite receiver to the MythTV
Box and a DVI-HDMI/Digital Coax feed from the MythTV Box to my receiver.

Oh...I almost forgot to mention...I am using Fedora 5 and I didn't need
to compile anything to get this setup to work.

I still need to tweak a few things but it works great!!!

Best Regards, Hedgehog
