Progress on the mythtv box.

The MythTV box is up and running. I'm reasonably happy with it, but still have work to do.

The harddrive controller's power management routines don't seem to be up to scratch - after the atomic copy when hibernating, no more data gets written. I'll have a closer look when I find some time.

The Digital 4 tuner didn't work until I tested it in another computer, running M$. Maybe I didn't hold my tongue right :). It's now working okay (bar the remote - the maintainer says he knows how it works but hasn't found the time yet to write the code). Being out in Cobden, the signal isn't magnificant. I have a Winfast DTV 2000H as well - I should compare them. Failing that, I have a friend who runs an aerial business; maybe I'll have to pay him to take a look at the reception.

Did I mention the configuration before?
