<P> </P>
<P>I had this up and running under CentOS 5 (5.0 at the time if I remember correctly) with a PVR-150 and a PVR-250. The article below talks about a DVB-C card, which may be different. I continuously had issues with the video quality and pci throughput. Ultimately, I gave up and installed a secondary mythbackend in Dom0. Ubuntu does have newer versions of Xen though, so this may be more stable. Getting it up and running is not too complex. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>If you read the article referenced, there's a link on the right side of the page to "Pass DVB card to guest domain", which is what you need.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Kind regards,</P>
