MythTV - based on Ubuntu - never got round to installing it myself but maybe worth a search or it may even prompt some comments about it.Comment

Indeed. I have used it. A bit of a pig to set up but well worth it. Driver support under linux for video capture cards is limited so go Hauppauge all the way and you'll be fine.Originally posted by conned tractor View Post
I think there is a pre rolled version called MythBuntu, or maybe I just dreamt it .....
No, not going mad, after a brief search found hereKnock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

hmm will make the suggestions to my "technical engineer"

Have a look at Popcorn Hour. http://www.popcornhour.com
I've got one sitting under my TV in the living room connected via homeplugs to my QNAP NAS (linux box, torrent bitch, video server, etc.)
Advantage of this is that there are no 'moving parts' in the living room, meaning the only noise comes from the TV speakers. Having experienced the background sounds generated by an XBox 'media server', this can only be a good thing.Last edited by vandiss; 2 November 2009, 22:42.Comment
