Hallo, I still seem to be having trouble getting mail from the list, so I 
will just check the archive periodically.

I have discovered in the last week that the following work under Ubuntu 8.04

Belkin USB Wireless G adapter.  Model f5d7050, ver. 4001.  I found this at 
Walmart, plugged it in, and magically, it 'just worked!'  These can be 
found easily at Walmart and Target.

Hauppauge Wintv HVR 1800 tuner card.  This card finally works with 
Mythbuntu 8.04.  The analog tuner is not working ATM, but the digital input 
had no problem locking on to local OTA channels.  I tried to fetch the 
local channels from the Mediacom cable feed with limited success.  I got 
some stations, but very odd channel assignments.  WQPT looks fantastic in HD!

I might even do a digital version of my Mythbuntu demo in the next few 
months if I get this tweaked better.
