In this special, one-off episode, Fab tells you about his experiences of reinstalling his mythbox with the latest release of Mythbuntu (8.10, Intrepid Ibex), Dan & Fab also discuss german soft porn channels.

Pros:

• Installer is really easy and straightforward
• The included Xfce4 theme is very nice
• Wide variety of MythTV themes included
• Auto channel icon downloader is awesome
• Live TV looks much better on Fab’s box (possibly driver improvements)

Cons:

• Apache is apparently broken (MythWeb & phpMyAdmin do not work out of the box)
• The ATI drivers do not work out of the box with the MythTV GUI due to the omission of a config option in the MythTV config

Here’s what Fab added to /etc/mythtv/session-settings to fix that problem for him:
# Hack to get fglrx to behave properly
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=True

• Fab is using a Pinnacle PCTV 450e DVB-S capture card now
• Fab also replies to an email about Mythbuntu from DaddyG
• Tip Number One: If you thinking about rolling your own mythbox, research your hardware BEFORE you do it.
• EfficientPC sells ready-to-go mythboxes
