Not with the AMD based system. I even purchased a PCI USB add-in card. The blaster works with the add-in card on the same machines as it did with the motherboard ports. And it still doesn't work in my AMD system with the add-in card. At this point, I'm guessing it's a kernel version issue. (Ubuntu 9.10 works, KnoppMyth R5.5 doesn't) I haven't had the time to dig into what the issues are with R5.5. I may end up just upgrading the whole OS on my MythTV box. Bill Bogstad
