MythTV works like a charm with my Technotrend DVB-C 1.0 Budget digital TV card. It looks like someone is even working on a patch for simultaneous recording of multiple TV channels from the same multiplex.

Too bad MythTV doesn't yet support editing commercials out from MPEG2 digital tv streams without re-encoding. GOPchop is unusable on a low-res TV screen with only a remote control, and avidemux2 can't seem to understand the current MythTV .nuv wrapper.

Re:Mozilla Firebird seems better

I second that. The nightly builds keep getting better and better. The same is true for Thunderbird.

Mozilla 1.4 and Firebird 0.6 were unbearably unstable on my system, but the nightlies work like a dream.

Just a couple of annoyances (which I've voted for in Bugzilla):

• Firebird nightlies for Linux are not compiled with anti-aliased font support (Thunderbird nightlies, on the other hand, are)
  
• no Midas support (wysiwyg HTML editing in forms)

Unfortunately Thunderbird still doesn't have its own category in Bugzilla.
