Yes. What I have is a collection of configurations that I have used for 
years on 0.8.x successfully on CentOS 5. I'm trying to make the 
transition to CentOS 6 since apparently MythTV is going to be abandoned 
on 5.

Right now my old IR configurations aren't working, either under 0.8.7 
*or* 0.9.0. At the moment I'm working with EPEL's 0.9.0 and I know this 
is the wrong list for that but I may come back to Axel's packages since 
James says he's using them successfully on 6.

I am still faithfully using Axel's Myth packages. Just stuck on 0.24.3 
for now.
