Will there be an antenna to plug into? That was always my major
dilemma in demoing mythtv.

Do you have a combined back/front end? That would make it easier too.
My backend and frontends are separate.

XBMC would also be good to show off.


Not sure if there is an antenna - personally, I very rarely watch live tv on the mythbox. If there is not, I will just show a recorded program to demo the ad-zapping, and stick to videos in the public domain, showing how to schedule a recording, .... better make sure the weather and web browsing work - although I don't use that a lot either. But I suppose there are people without a computer in every room who would be interested.

I have separate front and back end. It could well be that we stick to recorded material only - if the machines cannot be connected to the library network and the internet. But should be able to set everything up on a separate network and use wifi router to connect. Been meaning to install OpenWRT on it anyway :-)

Or I could use a screen recorder and fake the whole thing :-)

I have installed XMBC and got as far as finding out it would not work with my version of MythTV (0.26) without a lot of mucking around, so removed it again.

I could put it on and show some local media files ... if I get time.
