Install went fairly well. Some issues with having to blacklist onboard video. Hardware Specs: Dell GX60 CPU - Celeron 2ghz Motherboard – Intel 845GL, AUDIO/VIDEO/NIC RAM – 512MB (2x256) PC2700 HDD - Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 6Y080L0 80GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA133 Video Card – Apollo nVidia GeForceFX 5200 128MB PCI with VGA, DVI, and S-Video (using S-Video) Audio - Integraded Audio DVD-RW – LITE-ON 16x DVD-RW Haupuage PVR-150 - iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01) Svideo TV output to Sony 27" Trinitron TV Details - I was getting a kernel panic when using FX5200, no doubt from integrated video, I had to blacklist intel_agp driver to workaround. Code: echo “intel_agp” >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist Edit: I could not install KM with the FX5200 installed, I had to install KM edit blacklist file before entering root password, shutdown & install Nvidia card to resume install. During the boot after the OS install wouldn't start X, I had to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 find the driver=i810 line and replace it with driver=nvidia . This was because was trying to use the onboard video rather that PCI FX5200. PVR-150 is simple to setup, I have the most basic cable package ($15/mo) from Comcast in Philadelphia, PA subs. I use the “Dog Bone” remote which is option F when configuring lirc. I used electric tape to affix the IR receiver inside the case where the floppy drive was and looks much better and picks up remote well.

WAF factor is 9/10, this machine is very quite, the TV quality is good, looks nice in entertainment system, I enabled the “all method” commercial detect, and this works really well.
