could easily play on a Mac OS X laptop? (MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, etc?)This depends on how you recorded the show. If you're using a hardware encoder, like one of the Hauppauge PVR cards, it's already in MPEG-2 format. Otherwise, you'll want to use nuvexport to convert to one of the standard formats. MythVideo can handle any of those just fine, too.
nuvexport can also create an SQL file that you can use to reimport a .nuv file, which will put it back into the recorded programs list. Not exactly MythVideo, but it might meet your needs.Carl Fongheiser

I'd rethink the motherboard -- VIA chipsets have been known to have problems with high-throughput PCI cards like the PVR-150's. On a full-size ATX motherboard, you can sometimes get things to work better by moving the cards around in the slots, but that's less feasible with a microATX motherboard.

When I setup a jump point, will it actually work on my keyboard, or is it just for translation to the remote? Also, is there an easier way to edit jumppoints? I'm fine doing it directly in the database, but a GUI for it would be nice too. Jumppoints work like other keybindings -- they work from the keyboard or the remote. You shouldn't need to quote the F3 string. You can use MythWeb to edit jumppoints -- it's in the Settings section, under Key Bindings.

Once you've done that, you can enable the displays that interest you. As far as what you get, if you're in a menu, it'll show you where you are in the menus.

On Demand most likely requires use of a return channel, which your amplifier may be blocking. If you can find an amplifier compatible with cable modems, you likely will have found one that will work for you. The splitter is most likely not the problem -- the frequency range you quoted is adequate for cable modems and digital cable on most systems.

So when Myth has a listing for lets say... channel 5, it tunes from 3 to 5. Now it only picks up static, however for it to work, it needs to stay tuned on 3. The cable box can be on whatever channel needs to be recorded, that's why I bought an IR Blaster, but getting that to work is a problem for later. I hope most, or at least all of this, made sense. Why are you using the RF connection from your cable box? You should be using the S-Video or composite outputs instead. The "Cable Out" (RF) connection is the worst one that box has.
