I'm using a single Nova T-500 card, running under Mythbuntu 8.10
x86-64 with Jean-Yves's patches. Running a combined mythtv backend /
frontend using a VDPAU profile.

I had no problems with channel changing, nor with recording multiple
channels while watching a pre-recorded program. Fast forwarding /
rewinding using the left and right keys (on the remote, optionally
prefixed with a number) works fine too.

However, when using the fast forward and rewind buttons, the OSD shows
3x/5x/etc, but the picture doesn't change, which is kinda annoying.
Under Mythbuntu 7.10, if you used the fast forward or rewind buttons,
the picture would be speed up or reversed as instructed.

The only two locks-ups I have has been while using MythVideo (mplayer
-vo vdpau...). Never bother to look into why it occurred, simply
rebooted and problem went away.
