Brand new and hope you can help. I've decided to build myth pvr over spring break and picked all my parts to buy but after looking around I can't tell if the Hauppauge 150 will work out of the box. I also can't tell if my AT&T usb wireless g will work. I have never built a linux box and thought KnoppMyth would be easy. I thought I would start off simple with an Atholon 22oo processor and I have a Nvidio 440. Any help?

If you'd searched the forum for "PVR 150" (don't forget to click the "require all terms" checkbox) you'd have found a single consistent answer. NO. Not now, maybe in several months, but definitely not now. Lots of people don't seem to want to believe that, but it's the straight scoop.

KnoppMyth is easy. Unfortunately, you purchased hardware w/o doing your homework first.

Thanks for the help so far but I guess I'm not clear on this. I have not bought any of these parts yet but made a list and checked prices and am ready to order my parts. I have spent a few hours trying to track down if the parts that are a good deal on the web now would work. I now know that the Hauppauge 150 won't work but don't know what would be the best deal in the $75 dollar range and the AT&T usb wirless is on sale for $20 at compusa. My wife won't let me spend much on this set up and trying to stay in budget. All my other parts I found would work. any help on what to get instead?

The PVR 150 and 500 are bleeding edge. Some folks have reported success. Youll have to check the ivtv mailing list. Both cards need the 0.3.x driver. KnoppMyth currently ships w/ 0.2.x. As for the AT&T wireless thingie.... Google is your friend. I myself don't do wireless. The processor and video card sound fine.

I believe the at&t wireless should be supported with ndiswrapper, but would require some tinkering. look at the cardlist on the ndiswrapper page for verification, but I know some of the at&t wireless g stuff is supported, I myself just bought the pcmcia on sale for $10 at compusa because it was reported to work, unfortunately my laptop died before I got a chance to test it. I'll be setting it up in a couple of weeks when it comes back from repair.
