[mythtvnz] Nova-T 500 working with Freeview HD

[Aaron Drysdale]

After getting my system working perfectly with a Nova-S Plus and VDPAU, I would like to expand my setup with a Nova-T 500 to get Freeview HD and have multiple tuners.
 
I've read the most recent article in Mythtvnz, where it summarises that it mostly works, but is not quite ready for prime time yet. I'm wondering, is this a case of YMMV? My system has plenty of CPU grunt, and I'm also using JYA's VDPAU backport on an nVidia 8500GT very successfully. Does anyone actually use a Nova-T 500 full time for watching Live TV? Is it possible yet, or still just for playing with? This is a system that my wife and kids use probably more than I do.
 
Also, I'm a little confused about what I need in my frontend to playback Freeview HD. If I understand correctly, I would need a specific audio codec to get sound. Is this supported in JYA's frontend? Or do I need to use Paul Rendall's repository? And if I use that, do I then lose VDPAU?
 
Many thanks
Aaron
