Charles netwoking TV it is probably the most significant change that will come in the near feature. Mythtv is ahead of the rest.
Yes, I agree.
Interestingly I was watching dw-tv from germany the other day and they were showing a "house of the future" and the most important part was essentially what mythtv offers plus few sensors to control some of the house electronics.
Yes, maybe be we will see it soon in MythTV. MythSecurity, MythX10 anyone?
For people that have not use mythtv is very hard to understand the significance of it.
Definitely, I certainly didn't understand until I started using it.
Excellent searching capabilities so in few seconds you can find what you wanted weeks ahead. Very simple to mark
Yes, just mark the programs you like and forget about it. You can also set it to skip recording if you have seen that perticular one before, etc.
and then after a while whenever you watch tv you just watch what you wanted at the time you wanted without commercials.
This constant come up on the MythTV list. No one watches live TV anymore after getting spoilt by mythcommflag. :-)
Do you have HDTV setup already?. I got pcHDTV card but I have not installed yet. I had some problems with SuSE 10.2 (all solved) that delay that part.
No, not yet. Unlike places like Japan (where they have enjoyed HD for over a decade), we are only slowly seeing some HD content in North America. It is not time yet. Here are the benefits I see with a Myth box hooked up to you TV in the living room and a permanent Internet connection: (1) It brings Internet content to the living room (MythWeather, MythNews, MythFlix, etc...) (2) The VCR brought us time shifting, but with the Networked PVR, we now also have space shifting. In essence, one have access to one's own media library from anywhere as long as there is an Internet connection. Charles -- /* panic??
