I only wish I could have been there, but unfortunately I live in Wellington (at the moment). I'm in the process of trying to get a MythTV box set up and am running into a few problems: 1/ With the Pinnacle PCTV Stereo (now saa7134 based) I can get picture but no sound in Xawtv, kdetv etc. but nothing at all in MythTV. ** THIS IS MY MAIN PROBLEM, after all what use is TV without sound? ** (As an aside in Windows I do get sound from the card with no issues, and I have tried all I can think of with regard to levels, lines and inputs under Linux but there is obviously something I am missing) 2/ I've tried various distros and had hoped to use the Fedora Core 3 guide at http://wilsonet.com but have discovered that the ATrpms now muck up Fedora nicely. After installing Axel Thimm's ATrpms-kickstart and doing an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooting to install the new kernel none of the package management software, RPM, APT or YUM work. 3/ I'd prefer to use Gentoo but haven't been able to find anything really useful that details the correct process to go through. I think I saw something a few months ago that was a step by step guide but if I recall correctly in was for one of the Haupauge cards and I didn't save the URL. That might not be a lot of use anyway given that I don't have the Haupauge card. Can anyone point me to some good step by step instructions, for _any_ distro to get me up and running with the PCTV Stereo and using my ATI cards TV out I'd really appreciate it. Cheers Jamie
