I agree that hosting the r5000hd on a linux mythbackend is
preferable to hosting it on an external XP box.

If the details of the communication protocol and remuxing
algorithm are available, I am willing to look at writing a
linux driver for the r5000hd. However, I am not interested
in reverse engineering anything.

But there is interest from me! :-) I am doing it for myself. I
will make my scripts and setup available to anyone else who wants
to use them. If no one else cares, so be it.

Writing a driver is a lot more work than writing a couple of
Perl scripts and figuring out how to get MythTV to execute them.
