[Cialug] Next Meeting - Wednesday September 17

[David Champion]

I'm not currently running a MythTV box... no good excuse except I lost 
the power supply in my mid-tower case, and the PVR card won't fit in my 
little shuttle xpc cases. I plan on putting mine back together "Any Day 
Now"(tm) or "Real Soon Now"(r). Of course, by the time I do that, my 
PVR-250 will be completely obsolete because of HD.

Anyway, I tried running knoppmyth, and didn't like it. Of course, I'm 
not a big debian / knoppix / ubuntu fan personally (have run all of them).

I was running MythTV on Mandriva (which is my distro of choice). It's 
all in the contribs sources, you just install the packages, do the 
required MythTV channel setup, and it works like a charm.
