tvtime works great.

I am not sure about surround sound. The problems I am having may be a 
result of the sound on my mother board being stuck in surround mode, 
but I only have one set of speakers hooked up.

I use my computer(s) to watch TV because I gave my TV away. I have a 
digital cable box that I use to select channels and send s-video to 
my capture card and the audio to my harmon karden Surround Sound Amp.
I listen to the sound through 6 speakers ; Left, 2 Centre, Right, 
2 Rear. The Centre speakers have 12" woofers and the left and right 
have 2 10" woofers each, the rear speakers are small. I used to use 
a Marantz surround preamp with 3 rack mount amps making over 2200 
Watts but in a small apartment, I now just use the amps built into my 
harmon kardon unit.

I'll check tonight to see if there is "surround sound" coming from my 
mother board. I am also going to see if MythTV works better in FC2 than 
it did in RHL 9.

Have fun.
