My wife would like a PVR. I was wondering if anyone was using Mageia to run as a PVR? I was planning on using MythTV.

I have a spare box that I am planning to use with a terabyte drive + another 160gig drive. I am hoping to stream programs over our house lan to another 4 Mageia computer boxes. Our house is wired with ethernet !Gig.

Any suggestions would help.

Cheers,

Marc

I would say first, we make sure we can walk before we try and run, so,,,
How much experience do you have getting your video capture/tv tuner card to work in your location? Once you get something like xawtv working and good TV signal, (and you know where the capture card is located , like /dev/video/video0 or /dev/vid1) then the setup for mythTV is not too bad, but like most hardware, it is important to be sure your capture card is comparable with your current Linux kernels .
