[mythtvnz] Dead... again.

[Kenneth Dixon]

Yes I have recently brought a M3A-H/HDMI and have it running
as a MythTV box. It was a fairly straight forward setup.
You will require the closed source fglrx binary drivers for
now although open source support in the form of the ati and
radionhd drivers shouldn't be to far off.
I have encountered video tearing I think this may be
inherent to the fglrx drivers although it could be my
xorg.conf setup. I have also experienced occasional
slowdowns while watching live TV, this may also be a driver
issue. The video is still quite watchable, with the sight
annoyance factor of the tearing and slowdowns.
Stereo sound worked out of the box (Mythbuntu 8.04), I have
yet to setup 5.1/7.1 sound.
Everything else has worked very well.
