MythTV on Gentoo part 3

Last week I finally solved my hardware problems with MythTV 0.22 and a Hauppauge Nova-T PCI card and the TerraTec T-5 double DVB-T receiver.

After many reboots and tests with one or both receivers it turned out that the hardware was not at fault:-/

All I had to do was move the two TerraTec antennas to a spot with better reception, duh!

Before using the TerraTec receiver with my main MythTV server I had tested DVB-T reception on my laptop with the old placement of antennas and reception was fine, however it turns out that the DVB-T signal is quite dependant on weather changes.

So now my only remaining problems is that mythtranscoder doesn't support H.264 encoded streams and MythVideo webpart refuses to work, not using the mythtv hostname but the actual hostname...
