[wplug] MythTV

[Vanco, Don]

you may want to look at: http://www.pchdtv.com/ - they offer the HDTV
capture card (but you use a "standard" card as well) and have a complete
(MythTV) software suite that is "ready to run".  As mentioned,
KnoppixMyth is da bomb, yo.  FWIW - there are "per pay" listing guides
available on the 'Net (as well as free ones) but I can't speak to their
accuracy.
 
TiVo is great for archiving / pulling, but you cannot insert (on Series
2).  Before anyone says otherwise I know that you _can_ insert, but it's
such a major PITA (and offers many opportunities to turn your TiVo into
a boat anchor) that I can't see more than 1 in 10,000 people doing it.
 
Word.

	Since it just came up and I happen to playing with it right now
I was wondering if anybody else has had any experiances with building a
Linux PVR especially a MythTV setup.
	
	I'm just playing with some older hardware trying to determine
what all is necessary to have a nice Media PC for my house without
breaking my budget. One that can record Stargate for me when I'm out is
also a huge bonus. :-D
	
	So anybody else try this?
