[mythtv-users] Motorola DCH-3200 and Ubuntu

[John Baab]

This wiki is a bit out of date as MythTV 0.21 uses a GUID instead of ports
and nodes.  But, it worked well enough for me, just needed to recompile the
binary when my STB would jump nodes/ports.  There are some trouble shooting
tips at the bottom, you should look at those.

At some point it should be updated when the new primer is completely
finished.  You can see this thread about testing out the new primer:
