sde is on a distinguished road
i ditched linuxmce and installed a new ubuntu 7.04 with mythtv.

i'm getting my butt kicked by this setup. feisty with a couple pchdtv cards. there's make errors in the v4l drivers for the cards i bought, but i can use the dvb version.

they only pick up a few channels out of my cable box, and when they do, it adds a bunch of channels for every 1, .. so like 80_1, 80_2, 80_3, 80_4, 80_5, etc... i probably need to read up more on mythv to understand that though.

the cable box does have firewire, and i was able to get a channel loaded up just fine with that and it looks great. the problem is that you can not scan for channels with firewire so they have to be entered manually. (cause of a bug)

feel like i'm dumping way too much time for too little progress.
