Yes I'm using Mythbuntu,the config GUI works ok if I connect the HDHR to
the router. - it get the firmware version,does scans etc.
However ,because of modem/router and TV antenna locations,I need to set up  
the HDHR
directly onto the pc ethernet port.
I've tried all the how-tos I have found with no luck so far.
