Sure. Absolutely. I'm not discounting anything at the moment. 1) Probable first step - Get a Hauppauge (PVR-250 probably) stick it in a desktop machine and see what happens with all this software. for instance I installed MythTV but it wouldn't run as it needed mysql running. I know nothing of mysql so I need to work through some stuff like that. 2) In parallel look at whether to do a dedicated recorder (vs. using an existing machine) and look at how to do remote playback. Remote playback could be modified XBoxs (or maybe Playstations or something else) or it could be some sort of cute little box built around Epia or something else. These are just my thoughts for now. As I continue to read they change. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
