I've been tooling around the list for a little while learning a bit of this and that along the way (I already had a decent linux background, just not a myth one).
>From reading the threads on here (and around the web) and learning/understanding how Myth works and the different options that are available; I finally have a myth setup that is working exactly like I want it to and is VERY 'anyone else' friendly too. I am very happy with Myth right now :) Thanks everyone who helps out on the list, all the developers, testers, Documentation writers, Isaac... It's a real treat to use a working mythtv setup (running a relative recent SVN). I've got my big TV (Samsung 61" DLP monitor) playing back a beautiful HD picture over the VGA input; and a 6.1 JBL surround system powered by an Onkyo receiver that gets fed from a Digital Coax out on my soundcard. Everything works just like it should. Master backend is sort of just the backup, to keep everything together and in one place, it's been working for quite a while actually, it's the frontend that I am finally very happy with: Slave/Frontend System hardware is: Asus A7V266, Athlon XP 2500+ 512MB RAM Nvidia FX 5200 SB Live 5.1 pcHDTV 3000 and a few el cheapo bt87x cards (for those things that happen to not be on OTA channels) 1/2TB WD SATA drives Lirc via an RCA RCU-810A remote (and a custom serial receiver) Gentoo, using the SVN ebuilds. Thanks everyone! Chad _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
