Should be no problem if you have the right hardware.
You need some kind of tv-card, preferably with an onboard mpeg2 encoder, so that the cpu doesn't have to do all the work. Or if you have a satellite dish get a good card for it and you should achieve great quality rips. You probably need a fast computer if you are planning to do timeshift playback/recording. If you look into the matter you will find that most software available at the moment has recording support. That said, if you really only need the recording ability, you could probably just as well get a dvd or harddisc recorder, which might be cheaper. cheers, monty |

MythTV
Here are the instructions for doing it with RedHat FedoraCore and some relatively inexpensive hardware: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/#intro I've been using Myth for around 6 months now. Its 100% free, fairly stable, and has tons of features not available on commercial PVRs (commercial skip, movie playing, internet browsing, weather forecasts, etc.) |
