Then again, for stability linux may be "the cure" you're looking for ;)
Well that is what I'm hoping for. I had a feeling I might be setting my self up for a fight, and I believe that I am right.
I installed KnoppMyth last night and it was not without troubles (but what ever is?). The install its self went ok, it was fast and not allot to it. But when I tried to reboot after the install finished, it would get past POST and would never boot. I was faced with a flashing cursor in the top left corner of the screen and it would never move. So I hit the forums. After some reading I found several people who had the same problem. I tried several possible solutions without much luck. Then I found a posting that said doing an 'Auto Upgrade' work for them. That finally got the box to boot up!
I was able to get my pvr-250 working and could watch tv and tune channels after I found a script named directv.pl. I was not, however able to get my Firefly remote to work correctly. I can use irw and it does show the commands when I push buttons, so that is good. I guess I just need to map some commands in my .lirc file?
Is there a trick to getting DVD playback working? I fiddled with it a little this morning and when I go to Optical Drives and select DVD it doesn't do anything. When I tried to do it manually with mplayer or xine, I get some errors about not being able to read /dev/dvd. I ran a script to set cd permissions and that didn't help.... Any suggestions?
This is starting to shape up to be a pretty big project. I've already invested loooots of time setting up my pvr originally, and I dont know if I will be able to afford putting a huge number of hours in to this or not. I'm still aiming for the stability to outweigh the issues I'm having during the initial setup process. I have a huge WAF and right now.... well my cell phone is ringing allot. I am hoping that once I get the remote working that it will let her feel more comfortable with it.
