[mythtv-users] possible alternative to HDhomerun? TBS MOI

[mythtv .]

Well, I've had my MOI for about a week now, As supplied it's running a
buildroot/ulibC userspace and a Kernel without NFS support or loadable
module support, So i've rebuilt the kernel and installed Debian Wheezy to a
SD card. I have it running a v0.26 slave backend from the debian-multimedia
repo.

Great work Russell!

I have mine sat on my desk here at work having just got it and want to run
it exactly as you have done (ie as a slave backend)

Are you going to document the steps you have gone through? As it would save
me duplicated effort!
