Hi, I'm at the very beginning of trying to set up a bunch of media server stuff for the home. I've got music working well enough for now (although I am interested in answers to Eamon's post a few minutes ago) and I've started trying to get some app like dvd::rip built. Maybe it will actually build for me in the next few days. When it does that will handle DVDs. Last I want to be able to record and distribute TV on the network and need some pointers as to both hardware and software. As always, thanks in advance. I've posted elsewhere but none of the info has been useful. That's not likely to be the case here I'm sure.
1) TV tuner hardware. What are people using successfully today? We've been looking at ADS Tech, preferably their USB 2.0 solutions to allow moving the hardware around more easily if necessary. Has anyone had any success with something like Instant TV USB? If not, what hardware are you using? Hauppauge? Something else? What sort of quality are you getting for both picture and sound? 2) What PRV app are you using? It seems from the forums that either MythTV or Freevo are the preferred apps? Is that the case? Thanks in advance for any responses. Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
