I'm sorry, this is resolved. I got knowledgable advice that I could ignore
the warning. Also, I "fixed" my color output issues by relenting and
tuning the TV itself to have better color rendition from the signal it
gets from the nVidia card ... sacrificing some color in the
straight-through TV rendition. But we're using Myth more now, so so what?

So my "big deals" now (too many quotes, but I don't have any real BIG
deals with Myth, which is 90% there for my uses) are:

- configuring remote front ends so we can all watch different things
around the house (preventing use arguments). And there is some question on
whether my 1.66 G CPU can handle a lot of this.

- getting the DVD burner to actually burn DVDs, which apparently will take
replacing the cheap-shit Asus board I went with (good time to get more
punch in the CPU in that distant day when I have some actual money).

- Mastering editing, transcoding, and archiving to videos, which is a
matter of rading and expermenting, which I'm doing as I can. But
experimenting is hard because everybody wants to be using Myth.

Sooo ... Myth rocks (you heard it here), but it's yet another second
career. And every so often I take a breather, because what we have already
is far better than we had anticipated.
