Nope, I have been busy. Between helping with the baby here and
figuring out just what the right solution of hardware and software for
a PVR is and writing some code for it.

I think my new scheduler is done.  Well it needs cleaning up as it
still has copious amounts of debug output but it is much more
efficient that it's predecessor.  I can put lots of syndicated
programming into it and it produces a achedule in decent time.

I am pretty much zeroed in on my capture hardware and software, as
well as output-to-tv hardware.  I am still trying to find just the
right settings for framebuffer output for NTSC TV.

I have started on an OSD for choosing programs to watch.  Right now
it's just a list of programs on the screen and choosing one, it plays.

I have also been playing with a Zoltrix TV Genie capture card with IR
remote.  The card sorta works with bttv (some channels don't tune) and
the IR is not as of yet supported.  I need to get it proved (used
hardware, who knows if it even works) in windows before I start trying
to make LIRC work with it and that has been a trial.  I think the card
is junk actually.  I think I will start to look a different LIRC
option -- one that hopefully does not mean my having to build
hardware.

That is where I am right now.

Anything in particular you wanted to discuss?
