Hello all
I have a Pentium 4 3.4 GHz PC that I have no use for - I thought
I'd try my hand at MythTV again. I had MythTV running on my other box
for about a year, but then the box broke and, seeing how I am new to
Linux and not a Computer Science PhD, I was not able to fix it. I
switched to WinXP and Snapstream. That solution works OK, but their
latest release has me a bit pissed off, as they claimed to support
DIVX encoding, and their implementation was horrible. So I find
myself reconsidering MythTV.
Anyway, I'd like to catch up on some of the MythTV progress. Here
are a few questions - thanks in advance for your answers:
• Is it any easier to install MythTV these days - compared to a year
ago? I'd be using Jarod's Guide and RedHat. I was primarily having
problems with dependencies and with the program guide working properly.
• Has any kind of support been added for moving menu backgrounds? I'd
SOOOO love to generate my own (I'm a broadcast designer). I'd of
course share anything I made with the community.
• Is it easier to set up MythTV for a DirecTV satellite system, or
for digital cable? I'd be controlling the boxes using a serial cable
(if that's possible).
• What about BOTH a DirecTV box and digital cable?
• Are there specific DirecTV boxes that work best with MythTV in
terms of being able to change channels and stuff like that?
Thanks,
---------------------Steve
