Pete,

Are you using the driver that came with Ubuntu or the one Popey used 
with the Alpha/Beta? I've got one of those boxes and Popey's instruction 
were more complicated than necessary with the final release.

Because lots of people had reported trouble with the Nvidia drivers I 
assumed I had too when I got flickering but the problem was my old 
monitor. It didn't work with Auto refresh-rate detection or 24-bit 
colour which are now defaults. I had to borrow a modern monitor to use 
the GUI NVidia setup program. (That was an aside for anyone else with 
similar problems.) Short version, trust the 'Hardware Drivers' Nvidia 
put in the distro - but not the settings.

I've got MythTV back and front ends working on the Revo with one WinTV 
Nova-T-Stick but I've still got to find the right config for the remote. 
Some of the buttons work with the defaults.

Happy New Year, one and all,
Woo
