[mythtvnz] Hi & mplayer works but mythtv gives static?

[Nick Rout]

Welcome aboard, new users are always welcome.

I believe that there are some tips in the archives about tuning, but I will leave it to someone who has done it to give more concrete advice :-)

My RC6 remote just worked with knoppmyth. But what sort of device is on the computer end? IE what is the "receiver"
