Were I'm coming from is how long it will be before the distributions work
with NZ DTT "out of the box". Sure if we roll our own and do a bit of
patching we might get it up and running earlier.

I see the hurdles as

1. LATM HE-AAC support in FAAD or FFMPEG

2. Sort out the interlaced video issues with FFMPEG

3. A MythTV update that includes these

My worry is that (3) might only officially be in 0.22 which means a bit of
hacking and backporting for 0.21 support.

Add to this that a some of the more interesting DVB-T HW is PCIe and
drivers are still in development.
