Mythbuntu 8.04 beta works well on the myPVR hardware, although to date
isn't as stable as our own myPVR 2.0 build.

I also know a someone who is using Hardy Beta day to day on his laptop
that has some stability issues and occasional kernel freezes.

Now GM is just over 2 weeks away so It might be worth trying 8.04 beta and
a full patch update.
