<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I’ve been battling now for the last 3mths to get my
mythtv setup working, and whatever I try I still can’t see to get there.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I’m don’t think it’s the myth software –
it’s probably the underlying OS configuration, so any tips or suggestions
are really welcome. </span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">My latest theory is to just wipe the HDD and try again, as I
really have run out of things I know to try.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I appreciate this is a long post, but any help would be
gratefully received!</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">My setup is a 5050e CPU, GA-MA78GM-S2H (780g video (radeon
HD 3200), with realtek ALC889A sound), 4GB Ram, 2 DVB-T capture cards
(1xNova-TD-500(dual tuner) and one Nova-t (single tuner)), and a single 7200rpm
1TB HDD. The filesystem is ext3, with a xfs partition for the video files
(apparently good for deleting large files and offering smooth data transfers).</span></font></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Sad but true. Anytime I hear someone using ATI for Myth I cringe. Buy just about any Nvidia card (8000 or 9000 series if you can for the best hardware acceleration support) and you'll wonder why you ever tried ATI. I recall with terror my many nights trying to wrestle my ATI chipset into submission. Dropped an Nvidia card in the same system and it worked straight out. At the very least, you'll save yourself some nights and know that any problems you have after that are not video related.<br>
