I am mildly surprised that no one mentioned freevo (http://freevo.sf.net). It looks to still be active.
I haven't used it, and really don't know much about it. I remember a few years back i tried it and mythtv, and liked mythtv better. I had audio/video sync problems, but i blamed it on my old hauppage wintv2000 card and not being able to use the audio directly from it. --mat Richards Jr, Edward C. wrote: > Greetings all, > > One of my personal projects for some time has been to build a Home Theatre PC > based on Linux.
