Soon I will be putting together a walkthrough for getting mythtv working on your xbox, including debian sources you can download, full files, pictures and how to's ...
i havent found a good xbox mythtv website out on the net yet, so im
going to be building one as I go... For those of you that are
interested in mythtv, you can go to http://www.mythtv.org, have a look
around, i have it running right now for all my tv needs, and all i can
say is "Awesome" the GPL software is open, linux based, and best of
all....free...
an except from the mythtv site explaining what it is reads:
MythTV is a suite of programs that allow you to build the mythical home
media convergence box on your own using Open Source software and operating
systems.
MythTV has a number of capabilities. The television portion allows you to
do the following:
- You may pause, fast-forward and rewind live Television.
- You may install multiple video capture cards to record more than one
program at a time.
- You can have multiple servers, each with multiple capture cards in
them. All servers are centrally managed and all programs are scheduled by the
Master backend.
- You can have multiple clients (called "frontends" in MythTV parlance),
each with a common view of all available programs. Any client can watch any
program that was recorded by any of the servers. Clients can be diskless
and controlled entirely by a remote control.
- You may use any combination of standard analog capture card, MPEG-2,
MJPEG, DVB or HDTV capture devices. With appropriate hardware, MythTV can
control set top boxes, often found in digital cable and satellite TV
systems.
- Program Guide Data in North America is downloaded from Zap2It.com, a
subsidiary of Tribune Media Services. This free service is called
DataDirect, and provides MythTV almost two weeks of scheduling information.
Program Guide Data in other countries is obtained using XMLTV. MythTV uses
this information to create a schedule that maximizes the number of programs
that can be recorded if you don't have enough tuners.
Other modules in MythTV include:
- MythGallery, a picture-viewing application
- MythVideo, a media-viewer for content not created within MythTV
- MythDVD, a DVD viewer / ripper
- MythMusic, a music playing / ripping application which supports MP3
and FLAC
- MythGame
- MythWeather
- MythNews, a RSS news grabber
- MythBrowser, a web browser
- MythWeb, which allows you to control your MythTV system using a web
browser. With MythWeb, you can schedule recordings, delete files, change
keybindings and more. With proper security, you may even schedule a program
over the Internet and have it immediately acted on by the scheduler.
- MythPhone, phone and videophone using SIP.
