Speaker: Patrick Wagstrom

Abstract:
For many years we've been told of the coming digital revolution, where 
movies, music, photos, and more will be just a fingertip away. Despite the 
hype, few home media system are actually able to deliver on this promise. 
I will discuss the basics of personal video recorders and home media 
systems with a focus on MythTV, a suite of Linux programs that allows easy 
access to all of your media from the comfort of your couch. In addition to 
the features of MythTV, I will discuss some of the legislative and policy 
issues affecting this field, what you can do to help, and why now might be 
the best time to build a home media system.
