After some painful downloads of over 10MB over a 24kbps connection, we got some satellite action going on on our MythBox. While we don’t have Myth yet (we need to download a bit), I did get channels streaming (via dvbstream) to Mplayer. At first the channels were quite choppy, and we found that the average load was about double of what is allowed! We were able to fiddle with the output a little to get it outputting fine.

So, no, we don’t have broadband yet. Once we do though, MythTV and Blackbox are going straight on the machine!
