MythTV Time

Posted by gmartin on Fri 26 of Dec., 2008 22:01 EST

I'm building my own PVR. Lots of reasons why, but the biggest is the hassle of trying to continue using the VCR. So in the the new century I come - again..

I have a Dell GX280 that I won at a work give-away. 2GB RAM, 2.4GHz Pentium-4.
Video out - Diamond HD 2600xt Sb Edition (ATI Radeon)
Video in - A loaner that I'm not sure of.

I installed Mythbuntu 8.10 without incident.
I found this in the dmesg log
