[mythtv-users] Upgrade advice requested

[Dale Quigg]

Hi,

First, thanks to all who made the 0.22 release possible.

I am running Mythbuntu 7.10 with a standard definition TV and am
looking to upgrade to Mythtv 0.22 for a new HDTV.

-- Software --
MythBuntu 9.10    http://www.mythbuntu.org/
JYA's repo VDPAU     http://www.avenard.org/media/Home.html


The GT220 seems to be the minimum for Advanced 2x de-interlacing with
VDPAU.  It appears that the GT220 cards do not support sound over
HDMI.  This doesn't bother me too much because I'll likely just be
running sound through the TV speakers and can continue to use an
analog connection.

Any suggested improvements or gotchas?

Thanks,
Dale
