I read the Wiki which tells us PVR-x50 works with MythTV. I bought a PVR-250 for this very purpose, to work with MythTV backend. I crawled in dusty attic installing cables. I hacked the drivers to make them work with my card. All this was in vain, MythTV does not work with this card. Now I need some ideas, how could I at least watch TV in my desktop using that card in headless box, buried in the closet? -- Cheers, Saul
