I haven't done so because I just haven't quite got all the correct connections on my AV gear and I want to get some universal remotes so that we have a consistent experience across the front ends.</DIV>

<DIV>You just need JYA's repositories, JYA has incorporated Paul Rendall's work as far as I know, (could have sworn it was Paul Kendall though).<BR></DIV>
<DIV>Then again if you have enough CPU grunt you don't need JYA's but would then need Paul's.</DIV>

<DIV>I did have an issue with pixelation on TV1 and TV2, and only solved it by not using VDPAU on 720p or lower resolution, (see previous emails).</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>After getting my system working perfectly with a Nova-S Plus and VDPAU, I would like to expand my setup with a Nova-T 500 to get Freeview HD and have multiple tuners.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've read the most recent article in Mythtvnz, where it summarises that it mostly works, but is not quite ready for prime time yet. I'm wondering, is this a case of YMMV? My system has plenty of CPU grunt, and I'm also using JYA's VDPAU backport on an nVidia 8500GT very successfully. Does anyone actually use a Nova-T 500 full time for watching Live TV? Is it possible yet, or still just for playing with? This is a system that my wife and kids use probably more than I do.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, I'm a little confused about what I need in my frontend to playback Freeview HD. If I understand correctly, I would need a specific audio codec to get sound. Is this supported in JYA's frontend? Or do I need to use Paul Rendall's repository? And if I use that, do I then lose VDPAU?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many thanks</FONT></DIV>
