The hardest part so far has been getting this done that you helped me with. Playing DVDs under mplayer or xine would freeze X. Couldn't move the mouse or use the keyboard. (Had to reboot using webmin) The xorg-unichrome driver is needed to let this work without freezing.
I don't have a video capture card yet to record TV shows. I'll wait a bit until I get that. The instructions for that seem to be a bit more intense. :-/
