I am replacing my aging Nokia sat-receiver+ harddisk-recorder, and thought I'd have a look at building a new one myself. I've known about vdr (http://www.tvdr.de/) for a few years now, I guess since ct created ctvdr, but mythtv is relatively new to me. Opinions please - which one is currently ahead?
I'm running myth-tv, it's got a lot of features, but can be a bear to
setup, and really isn't well supported on oS, I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (Note: Charles Phillip Chan, who at least get's the list has it up and running quite well on oS.) If you are comfortable with git and compiling from source, I'd suggest you check out 0.24-fixes.
Why not MythBuntu? http://www.mythbuntu.org/ All the grunt work done for you.
I have to say I did not find MythTV to be that hard to set up. I followed the directions pages and compiled from source.
I'm using the packman 0.23 version on openSUSE 11.3 as I found the 0.24 a bit too unstable. This url has all the relevant info on how to set up MythTV on openSUSE. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/OpenSuSE_11.3 I found the Ubuntu series too difficiult to administer when compared to openSUSE. -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
