Myth TV on Fedora 7
Well, I’ve decided this blog was getting far too technology-based over the last few entries. I’m in desperate need of another hobby, writing about my travels is all very well – but I only have 27 days holiday each year to spare for that sort of thing. Code is falling in from the ceiling and spilling out onto the posts. In my deepest moments of insanity I’ve starting writing about branding. Being able to claim the moral high ground in the past, I’ve now found myself getting into debates over logos, design and the public perception.
Well it has to change. Right now.. So this evening is all about the introduction to my Myth TV posts, which will serve as some sort of inadequate guide to getting an open-source media center up and running with digital tv recording, playback, tv guides as well as all the networkable, internet-ready, upgradeable, linux hardware hell you’d expect from such a project. Much more fun than going down the shop and buying a complete system. You can’t imagine.
Wait. Shit.
Okay, there will be code. There will certainly be text-only configuration files. Hopefully, I can get a llama in there somewhere… Hopefully.
OK, so I get the pics of remotes (even missing out a Wii-mote) – you are talking about TV and such like, but what on earth do you change with the Jnr Hacksaw ?
Ah, hang on, I get it, you had so much fun at the weekend helping “Pimp my Chair” you want in on the action ?
Or is this for the new “Pimp my Remote” or “Pimp my TV” ?
I guess you will have seen this, but I shall post it anyway: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV
Yeah it is Gentoo, but you get the gist of what is going on.
It’s Pimp my Media Center. The theme of this whole series 🙂
Good link Phil – I’ve spent far too long on MythTV wiki’s in the past few weeks, sadly. I will undoubtedly create a whole feature about better places to go for support than me. In fact, maybe I should have started with that. Ah well, my story is more of a heart warming struggle of one man against technology, and the path it takes us all along. I’m seriously hoping for a Disney movie deal.
Now we all know Disney only give out info on Goodwood Festival of Speed…..
