Computing > HTPC narky Thu, 26 Oct 2006 09:51:54 GMT http://geexbox.org/en/index.html 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.

Computing > HTPC narky Fri, 27 Oct 2006 00:03:31 GMT http://hyams.webhop.net/mythtv/myth_ubuntu.html 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.

The current release is Release 5 C7. For changes, take a look at the changelog. Installation instructions for the frontend(runs off of the CD! :) , auto install, auto upgrade and manual install. Computing > HTPC narky Sat, 19 Aug 2006 03:07:23 GMT http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall 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. Computing > HTPC narky Fri, 27 Oct 2006 10:40:02 GMT http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/MythTV MythTV is an open source PVR (personal video recorder) with many additional plugins available to extend it into a full HTPC frontend, similar to Windows Media Center and Meedio. Features include: * Digital TV capable * Pausing, recording, seeking of Live TV * Scheduling of recordings * Electronic Program Guide (EPG), either through the digital stream or via the internet. * Compatible with Analog TV (was originally built for analog cards, with DVB support later added) Computing > HTPC > Howto narky Thu, 26 Oct 2006 10:05:07 GMT http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Basic_HTPC_Part_List 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.
