Yeah, I've had my own checkered past trying to upgrade a mythtv installation. Though I am extremely interested in upgrading, I do at the moment have a mostly stable 0.20.2 cluster running (or maybe to describe it better - I have a well understood cluster running right now). I just got this going so I'm even more interested in not immediately breaking it! For the curious, this cluster uses 2 diskless (read: very silent and stable) frontends and a dedicated back end. I'm writing up a single big web page about it since others have asked for the details. The page is not done yet, but a draft is up at: http://www.isely.net/mythtv_setup.html -Mike -- Mike Isely isely @ pobox (dot) com PGP: 03 54 43 4D 75 E5 CC 92 71 16 01 E2 B5 F5 C1 E8 _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
