[mythtvnz] Introduction

My turn :)

I've got a crappy P3 866 with 1 Gb ram running mythtv backend.  The card
is now a PVR-150MCE and works astonishingly well.  The former card was a
philips SAA7134 based Lifeview Prime 34.  The machine simply lacked the
balls to run this card because its a dumb framegrabber.

My frontend is my P3 700 laptop.  I've had liveTV working quite acceptably
over wireless ethernet, which suprises me.

My next plans are to put up a decent aerial (the rabbit ears in a tin shed
doesn't work very well) and organise some more hard drive space.  Is it
reasonable to use a NFS mount to store the recorded programmes?

I also have to find some way to put a front-end on the wife's XP box, both
for playback and programming.  She has a PVR-150 (not MCE) of her own.

I'd love to know why debian is doing such a poor job of mythtv.  I had all
sorts of issues between mysql and dependancies... the current one is
mythweather and friends don't want to install because

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mythweather:
 mythweather depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.3.4); however:
  Package libqt3c102-mt is not installed.

And that's uninstallable...
E: Package libqt3c102-mt has no installation candidate

Any suggestions on any of my problems?
