w00t! I got a PVR-150 for Christmas from the in-laws! I installed it on Monday night after we got back home. Unfortunately it didn’t work quite as smoothly as “drop it in and it will just work”. It was recognized but there were some issues with drivers and whatnot, which required upgrading to the latest and greatest ivtv (version 0.4.1), which re-worked where the card firmwares are kept, so I had to update those as well. Even after that there was some funkiness which required clearing out all the card settings and re-creating them (in mythtvsetup). Thankfully that worked! Yay. I now have a MythTV box with two tuners and therefore can record two shows at once!
In other news, we needed a trailer this past weekend to bring back a mattress set from DeForest (not to be confused with DeWoods or DeBushes). This required making a pit stop up at a neighbor of my parents on Friday. Unfortunately it was icy on Friday. My truck decided it wanted to play in the snow, but it neglected to consult me on the matter before taking advantage of a nice ditch full just south of Wheeler. Thank goodness for 4WD … put it in 4-low and backed our butts out of there… no problem.
