After considerable frustration<\/a> over my lack of TV reception with the Mythbuntu PVR, I decided to forklift upgrade the whole thing to Ubuntu Hardy Heron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well halle-bloody-lujah!! It now scans and locks onto all Sydney and Newcastle DVB-T signals.<\/p>\n

I don’t know exactly what did the trick – it has a new kernel and the latest version of MythTV – and I have no intention to waste
\nany more time trying to find out (quite a few variables, so non-trivial to say the least). I also got a new, more powerful signal amplifier which has had a positive on the TV as well (Sydney HD channels are no longer choppy), so I think I’ll hang
\non to it.<\/p>\n

Of course, the upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy broke my xorg settings and I had to manually re-configure it for TV to display correctly.<\/p>\n

Let’s hope for Ubuntu’s sake the millions of upgrades from Gutsy to Hardy don’t experience the same problem – I can almost hear
\nthe mass protests now.<\/p>\n

Now with everything “working” it’s time to set up some speakers for sound (already tested) and begin recording!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
