[mythtvnz] MythTV-NZ Recommended Hardware List

[Andrew Richards]

Brett,

Unfortunately as far as I know DVB-T (or specifically the AAC sound) 
isn't yet fully supported by myth, i.e. there are patches etc. available 
but unless I have missed something it is not available in 0.21 fixes yet 
(will it be? Or 0.22?).

I actually never introduced myself here, I'm an ex-myth user who has 
gone to MediaPortal for the DVB-T support (using a Nova T 500, going 
good now I have hardware acceleration working). Hence I am interested in 
how NZ DVB-T support is going, is someone able to provide an update on this?
