Watching TV is much easier through tvtime or xawtv, which are easier
to get up and running than MythTV. MythTV gives full PVR
functionality, which is much better. There's really no need to
install MythTV via rpms. It'll install onto just about any linux
platform (or OSX); just follow
http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall . I installed
several different versions over the years and its really not too
hard. I'm not in Hawaii anymore, though. Its not testing by any
means. Its very stable and works fine. You can use one of the point
versions, or you can use the CVS version. Both work well. The CVS is
not unstable, but it does develop rapidly.

Actually, installing the entire mythtv suite with all the extras by
issuing the command 'apt-get install mythtv-suite' does have it's charm.
I have been wanting to install it all by source and having read this, I
think I will give it a try. As for trying to do mythtv with the 1ghz
via? This is a perfect solution for a small footprint myth box the asus
pundit-r is another popular small footprint box. If you are thinking
HDTV using one of those, then the Hawaiian word for loco would be
appropriate. :)
If anybody wants my config files just email me and ask I will give them
up if you want, but www.wilsonet.com has all the working config files
also and is the best howto for installing using apt-get.

Hello all, I've been out of the house this memorial day weekend. It is
wonderful to watch tv programs you when you want to watch them. I've
been running mythtv for 14 months without a glitch. I'm using FC 1
because I've figured, if it ain't broke... don't fix it.
I have an amd 2500, 512mb, 160g hd, hauppauge 250, sound blaster live,
and a dlink usb wireless adapter to update the tv listings nightly.
I've gotta find an easy way to archive my programs to dvd.
I also transfer mp3's from my laptop to my mythbox and use it as a juke
box with my home theater system. I've also used mythtv to rip my dvd's
and use the mythbox as a dvd juke box.
Try it... you like it.
Mike
