No. I worked almost exclusively on Unix and linux machines for the best 
part of 10 years. Part of the problem is that that ended 3 years ago - I 
had a career change (now a primary teacher). The other part of the 
problem is that I simply had not had enough time to nut out MythTV.

However, I am pleased to say I agree with you regarding MythTV not being 
a myth - I now have a fully functional MythTV box, recording madly as I 
speak. It is wonderful, and very satisfying. In the end (and of course) 
the problems were user errors - I had chosen an incorrect setting in the 
mythtv setup. Once I'd established what the problem was, the fix was 
easy, and the result immediate.

I will write up the stuff I did, used, and came across, because there 
was no one-stop-shop for those in Australia wanting to set up MythTV. I 
will also include a list of the hardware I have, and the operating 
environment.

Now I just have to find time to watch the shows that are recording. 
Sadly, I suspect that I won't get to see a lot of them...

Steve.
