OK, here you go.

I'm a linuxmce user trying to get DVB-T working for freeview in NZ, based in wellington.
After much mucking about, I have come to the point where I can get a picture on most channels (some cause a crash), but no sound on any. Which means I only use my linux MCE box for watching material from the hard drive.
I understand there may be a patch available for the sound, but am not sure how to apply it on linuxmce.

Also, I'd like to investigate the hardware acceleration (NVIDIA), I'm unsure if my card will support it, but believe it should be capable of the older purevideo (nvidia's hardware acceleration PRE VDPAU (Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix)), this would be great as when I can see a DVB-T freeview picture on my screen, it's not very smooth, and I'm sure that offloading decoding to the video card would help. I'm pretty sure my video card is to old to do VDPAU.

Cheers
Gavin
