- Building a Home Theater PC (Part 2) : Installing MythTV - The f-stop blues
Good set of links towards installing MythTV. So the first home theater software package I am going to try out is going to by MythTV for Linux. There are several different ways you can go to install MythTV depending on which Linux distribution you want to use.

A Media Centre allows you to hold all of your digital media like a giant jukebox, all accessable via your remote control. MythTV is probably the best Media Centre available at the moment for Digital TV. I have had it in production for over a year now and have used it every day. Many thanks to Issac Richards the maintainer and all the active developers.

I'm trying to connect to my file-server (Samba share) and play some media-files on it through Totem and Rythmbox. I can open and browse the share just fine in Nautilus (through gnome-vfs), but when I try to play a file directly off the server, Totem/Rythmbox just complains that it "Could not read resource". If I copy the file locally and play it, everything's fine and dandy.

Want control? Build your own MythTV PC. You don't do stuff like this to cut corners. You do it because you want what you want—and because it's fun. And a personalized MythTV is so much more than a PVR. You can combine HDTV, DVD, all kinds of music, radio, photos, even a plug-in videophone module. All you need is a little Linux know-how, assorted software components and plug-ins, an adventurous nature, and this book to tell you how it all goes together. Voilà—the entertainment hub of your dreams.

in Computing > HTPC > Howto - Connecting your PC to your TV
Whether you want to browse your computer on your TV screen and watch movies stored in your computer on your TV, or you want to do the opposite (like watching your favorite TV shows on your PC), this article discusses the how-to as well as the benefits and the problems of each option (and what you can do to get around them). You may also want to do both (record your favorite shows on your PC but watch them on your TV). Whichever of these you're trying to do, the intention of this article is to provide a concise explanation of how to converge your TV with your PC.
There are many different ways of connecting your PC to your TV. This article explores the many ways.

in Computing > HTPC - EPG Data Sources for Australia
Many programs have some form of Electronic Programme Guide, or EPG. They need to get the data for the guide from somewhere, and because the data comes from different sources in different geographical locations, people have separated the uses of the data from the gathering of the data. XMLTV is a format for transferring EPG data. This page lists programs that gather EPG data for Australian TV channels. Programs that use XMLTV (see description below) need to get their data from somewhere. Some companies will sell you a direct XMLTV data feed. Other people use a program known as a grabber or scraper to gather data from the web and convert it into the XMLTV format.

GeeXboX is a media center software suite for personal computers, based on Linux and MPlayer, and implemented as a Live CD. As such, the system does not need to be permanently installed to a hard drive, as most modern operating systems would; instead, the computer can be rebooted with the GeeXboX CD when media playback is desired. This is a reasonable approach for who do not need media playback services while performing other tasks with the same computer, for users who wish to repurpose older computers as media centers, and for those seeking a free alternative to Windows XP Media Center Edition.

in Computing > HTPC by 2 users - Installing MythTV on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) with a Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350/500
First, credit where credit is due: I first set up MythTV under Fedora Core 3, using the excellent HOWTO by Jarod Wilson. For reasons better left unexplained, I decided to try out MythTV on Ubuntu. For this, I leaned heavily on two HOWTOS: one written by Andrew Barbaccia and one by Joe Kallo. While each are very useful, I did run into a couple of issues that I wanted to pass along, and therefore, this HOWTO was born. In this HOWTO, I also give you links to various files along the way, so that you can see exactly how it is set up on my system.

Initially, installation of MythTV seems like a huge task. There are lots of dependencies, and various distributions seem to do the same thing different ways. This document will attempt to give general installation instructions, as well as including distribution-specific instructions where necessary.

For ~$800, it is quite possible to build your own HTPC running a free Operating System software called Knoppmyth. Which means that you get to spend your entire budget on hardware, giving you more grunt for your dollar. The machine described below is more than able to drive MythTV (http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/MythTV) and will also be able to record multiple shows simultanuously when later upgraded with extra tuner cards. The prices between brackets below are averages of the prices found on StaticIce (http://www.staticice.com.au/) for the different parts.
