Or Freevo, which works with the satellite reception cards, and runs
on Linux.
I guess what I have been hinting at is that sometimes you have to
sacrifice your time for the greater good; get on the mailing lists, do
bug reporting, use the software. Hack it, and make patches (if you
can). Find solutions. Make suggestions, and request features that you
specifically want. Then MythTV (or any Linux package) will get better,
and become a package more suited for your needs.
Linux isn't ready only because we turn to Windows when the Linux
solutions fail, rather than rallying behind developers and supporting
them towards making the Linux solution work. And if we keep doing that,
then Linux will never be ready. What motivation does a developer have,
if his product lays in obscurity?
