[vass0922]

http://www.mythtv.org/index.php

• Basic 'live-tv' functionality. Pause/Fast Forward/Rewind "live" TV.
  
• Support for multiple tuner cards and multiple simultaneous recordings.
  
• Distributed architecture allowing multiple recording machines and multiple playback machines on the same network, completely transparent to the user.
  
• Compresses using rtjpeg (from Nuppelvideo) or mpeg4 (from libavcodec).
  
• Grabs program information using xmltv.
  
• A fully themeable menu to tie it all together.

Pretty sweet ahhh the benefits of open source

Alright I know that this is an old thread but has anyone actually gotten Myth to work? I was looking at Freevo and will probably give it a shot but wanted to look at alternatives too.

So anyone?

Yes I have gotten MythTV to work numerous times. I use it all the time and I find that it works GREAT.

Are you having trouble getting it to compile?

No, havent even started to look at it, just making a list of options. Can you tell me where to dl it from though, I cant seem to get to their website. I am trying http://www.mythtv.org to no avail.

That is their website but it seems down. Just have to wait for it to come back up I guess

Thanks for the info tho! I may be asking some questions tho, once they get their site up that is!
