/usr/portage/distfiles/libhdhomerun_20140121.tgz is all of 47,685 bytes. It provides a ***COMMAND LINE INTERFACE***. I happen to be a "command line commando"" Using that command line interface, I've rigged up a bash script and a text config file that allows me to fire up the local CBC station, on tuner 0, with the command... tv 0 cbc Similarly, I can launch the local CTV station with the command tv 0 ctv The other option is to "save 47,685 bytes" and emerge MythTV instead USE="mysql" emerge -pv mythtv These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
