Finally got my hands on a USB remote control today, and boy does it make MythTV more useable. After playing with VNC - which makes things stutter - and Synergy - which makes things blink with the screensaver - it's nice not to have to have a computer to control a computer, however I did have to remap all the controls as the default setup is a little .. quirky.
Satellite TV is running well, although with some strange results I wasn't expecting. Fiver and Five US are on Sky freeview, but not on Freesat it seems ... even though it uses the same satellite etc. As always, results vary dependant on weather here. Spent most of the weekend not being able to receive much due to the storms, but today is much better.
Transcoding is working well saving disk space, and the advert detection so far has been spot on. Just need to work out how to automagically delete them when it transcodes. MythWeb is a little flakey here and there, but the streaming media is a huge plus.
Next step ... a little fine tuning, followed by looking to see if I can set up a second Myth frontend to see how well that works ... that and getting the aerial sorted out so I can put a dual-channel DVB-T card in to increase the flexibility.
