[mythtv-users] CentOS and 0.27-fixes (which really just means always-latest)

[Nick Campbell]

I am in the same boat.  I have been running mythtv on ubuntu 12.04, and I
decided I want to switch my backend to centos.  I installed centos 6.5, and
followed a guide from a link on the mythtv wiki for installing mythtv on
centos6.  So with the proper repositories it will install mythtv .26
through yum.  I have got it all up and running, but my issue is I'm using a
HDHomeRun Prime, and the drivers for it I have been able to find only work
on "apt"/debian.  In the ubuntu mythtv repository they have integrated
support for hdhomerun.  But I can't seem to find support for yum.. When I
try to watch tv, I get no picture.  But everything else seems to be
working.. So I'm not sure that it is a driver issue, but I'm assuming that
is what it must be since everything else is working aside from the display
of the picture..  I would also prefer to update to .27, but I am ok running
.26 just because I feel that centos is much more stable..  Anyway, this is
the guide I used to get everything setup:

So that doesn't neccessarily answer your question, but I figured I would
share my experience since I am thinking somewhat on the same path as you.
