Yes, they did. As Martin mentioned, newer HOWTOs on the wiki cover the additional steps required for the newer H3 hardware. (We're planning to reorganize the HOWTOs and have the main mvpmc.org site point to the wiki, rather than the old HOWTOs it currently points to.) > It seems that the unit now scans for a server BEFORE it does any tftp at > all. ...

Yes, the H3s broadcast a request that is answered by a special "glue" server, like mvpserver or mvpboot, which replies with the location of the TFTP and media servers. > ...I have NOT been able to get the Media MVP to load a config file. Do you have a TFTP server running on the standard port 69 in addition to the high numbered port? While the Hauppauge firmware uses the high numbered port to load the dongle, the mvpmc startup code still uses the standard TFTP port to load the config file. I'd recommend setting up your TFTP server so it is logging file requests (which it may do by default) and watch its log during a boot. > As of now, I must telnet to the unit to start mvpmc. That actually sounds like it is succeeding in loading the config file, but the config file has an error. If the mvpmc startup code fails to load a config file, it normally starts the mvpmc software for you. In many cases, there's no need for a config file. Given that the config file is actually executed by the MVP, it tends to be error prone, and a simple typo will prevent mvpmc from starting. > As I am a MythTV user, I am most interested in LiveTV.

I don't know if these two are related. What I gather from messages I've read on the developer list is that these two aren't necessarily related, but there was a change introduced that caused problems with live TV and there is a patched dongle floating around that one of the developers created which fixes it. I think last I read they were trying to determine why the patch fixed the problem and considering incorporating it into the main code.
