MythTV setup
Well I’m been running MythTV at home now on a Gentoo linux box for about a year and a half and I’m not sure what I’d do without it. I am simply in love with the DVR features and my favorite part is automatically commercial skipping. My setup is a P4 northwood processor at 2.2 Ghz with 512 Mb of ram. I have 2 160GB hard drives striped for speed and have a DVD burner to burn the shows to DVD with MythArchive. I have the Hauppauge pvr-500 so I can simultaneously record 2 shows at once. I purchased an HD tv last May and have been just playing all analog content from my cable provider on it. The only HD I watch on it is when some sporting events are on the Over the Air channels. This week I was able to order the linux HD card pcHDTV-5500 from http://www.pchdtv.com/ I will hopefully get it next week and get it installed and working. I will post my results once I complete it.
