Thanks Nick.

I'd like a front and backend, the box is where the TV and the antenna  
feed are :) I've got a Mythbuntu 9.10 install with kernel updated to  
2.6.31-something (via the standard update manager) on it at the mo. If  
you want to throw a straight Ubuntu on it, no prob.

It has Mythtv 0.22, and everything else seems to work ok, but I can't  
get the backend configured to receive TV.

Playing DVDs also seems no good. This is with libdvdread3 and  
libdvdcss2, installed. It seems to report fetching the keys ok, but  
then mplayer borks somewhere in trying to render the stream I think.

Cheers
