Most of the popular new PVR cards sold for Windows XP MC are based on Connexant's "Blackbird" design, which hasn't had drivers for Linux or Myth.

We have been working on these drivers and released an alpha version at http://plutohome.com. Pluto even has a self-booting kick-start CD that will automatically install & configure everything for you, including a ready-to-go Myth system. It's the fastest and easiest way to get a MythTV PVR up and running, and also installs Xine, Asterisk and our own software to give you the most advanced media & entertainment, home automation, security, telecom & computing system, controllable with your Symbian Bluetooth mobile phone, as well as PDA's and Webpads.

We're working hard to harden the drivers as quickly as possible and would like as much feedback as possible. These 2nd generation "Blackbird" cards are lower in price and offer better picture quality than the current models supported in IVTV, so be sure to check them out.

Don't you love it when someone comes to a competing site and spams with another product that makes the same claims that you started in the first place.

by the way the last time this got spamed here someone tried it out and couldn't get it to even install.

I tried it and could not get it installed. There are going to water me off it they keep posting all over the place.

Another person (employee...lorein?) already posted this to the forum.

It's fine to let us (and the developers) know about the project and especially the driver updates...but I suggest that weekly notifications is liable to be considered a bit rude to the knoppmyth developers.

You know, that was starting to look rather "spammy". I got the same post almost to the letter at DAY-MUG mailing list. Should this person be banned? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with MythTV in Dayton, Ohio or KnoppMyth... see below:

Thanks!
