I just reinstalled using R5C7. So far so good...
Just one problem, I can't seem to install X11VNC so I can remote admin the box. I just get -
root@mythtv:~# apt-get install x11vnc
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package x11vnc
Any ideas?

Edit nano /etc/apt/sources.list and ake sure these are the top 3 in your sources.list
Code: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
Then follow the wiki tutorial - worked for me.

I'm not at home right now, so I can't check. But if this is just the R5B7 problem of changing unstable -> stable repositories as in the Wiki, then I think that's been fixed in R5C7.
This is saying that it can't find the X11VNC package in the repository, not that it's loading the wrong version.

OK, bits of it have been fixed (it says stable) but the the security repository isn't there. Pasting the lines from the Hints and tips in and commenting the rest out, followed by four apt-get updates (due to network probs) allowed X11VNC to be installed. 
But now I have a different problem 
I can fire up the VNC connection, but instead of seeing the Myth main menu or the GDM desktop, I see a fine herringbone black/white pattern and a large X type cursor...
Any ideas?

Sounds like a raw X session with nothing on top of it. Somehow you got to get GDM and the rest pointing (duplicated?) to that display...

Strange, in all previous version of Knoppmyth all I've ever done is
nano /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
and add the line below after the PATH line.
/usr/bin/x11vnc -nap -wait 50 -passwd xxxx -display :0 -forever -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -bg
It's always worked first time every time before...

Check the man page for x11vnc, possibly it's a new versio with slightly different command line options...

I had so many problems trying to get x11vnc to run on R5B7.
In the end I got some inspiration from my Xebian Xbox install, its not pretty, just functional 
edit:-
Code: /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps
add:- Code: [startup] {x11vnc -forever}
You should end up with something like this:- Code: [startup] {xset -dpms s off}
[startup] {x11vnc -forever}
[startup] {KnoppMyth-run}
[startup] {launch_irx.sh}
[app] (SDL_App)
[Layer] {2}
[Deco] {NONE}
[end]
As I said, it's not pretty, but it works 
You can enter additional options like -passwd
