Yes, that'd be my expectation. > ...I should just got get a Hauppauge PVR-250 or PVR-350, right ? I believe a PVR-150 (or the PRT-500 dual-tuner version) will have all the capabilities you need for a typical MythTV back-end. The PVR-350 has video output, which is rarely used these days, and I forget what the 250 has over the 150. The other consideration is whether you want to tune in digital channels. The MythTV wiki has lots of info on tuner cards. Any card with a hardware MPEG2 encoder or a digital card should work with mvpmc, though digital cards still need the streams transcoded to convert the audio. > 2.

I don't think it does, but then again I've never used that aspect of MythTV, so I've never noticed its absence. > ...but what about the DVDs I rip to MPEG files ? Others have played ripped DVDs on mvpmc, so it definitely works, but probably through the file system, as you speculated. > If the filesystem module is my only way to watch videos, is there a > way to have it start somewhere other than root ? i.e. chroot at /usr/video, > or have the buttons hotkeys to modules or chrooted FS ?
